Brexit could harm UK car industry growth

New SMMT figures show the UK industry grew by 7.3% last year; government urged to maintain EU single market

New figures published by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) show the UK’s car industry grew profits by 7.3% and added 17,000 new jobs last year, revealing the strength of Britain’s industry before the EU referendum vote.

Vehicle production grew by 5.2% to 1.7 million units while the industry’s environmental impact was reduced by 24.2% thanks to increased recycling and a reduction in landfill waste.

Turnover amounted to £71.6 billion in 2015 and the total number of people employed in the UK automotive sector reached 814,000, with 169,000 involved in the direct manufacturing of cars – 8000 up on the year before.

Toyota and Lexus recall 72,885 Auris, Prius and CT200h models in the UK

Models built between 2006 and 2012 have been flagged, following concerns over the fuel emissions control unit and airbag inflator mechanism; 3.37m recalled worldwide

Toyota has announced the recall of 72,885 Toyota Prius, Toyota Auris and Lexus CT200h models in the UK produced between April 2006 and August 2015 following concerns raised over the cars’ fuel emissions control units, and the airbag inflator mechanisms.

Although Toyota says there are no reports of any injuries or deaths, it has triggered the recall after discovering that the fuel emissions control unit canister, which is mounted to the fuel tank, may develop cracks that could expand and eventually lead to a fuel leak.

Toyota and Lexus has said it will replace the canister with an improved one. The work will take around two to three hours and will be free of charge.

As well as this, some airbag inflators in the driver and passenger side roof rails could have a crack in a weld, causing it to separate when it operates. As a result the airbag won’t fully inflate and parts of the inflator can be ejected with the airbag.

This fault does not affect the Auris, but 34,135 Prius and CT200h models manufactured between October 2008 and August 2012 are part of both recalls. For this fix, Toyota and Lexus will install retention brackets, a process which will take around two to four hours, at no charge.

Concerned owners can check if their vehicle is affected by using the registration number look-up function on toyota.co.uk Подробнее »

Mercedes-AMG GT Convertible and Black Series confirmed

The new GT R will soon be joined by other variants of Mercedes’ high-performance coupé

The long-rumoured Mercedes-AMG GT Convertible will be launched next year, before being joined by other varients of the growing GT range as Mercedes bids to make its high-performance sports car a more comprehensive rival for Porsche’s 911 range

At the launch of the latest model to join the GT family, the GT R (below), AMG boss Tobias Moers announced the arrival of a GT4 race car, which would sit below the GT3 and compete with other racers like McLaren’s recently revealed 570S GT4. He then proceeded to confirm the development of a convertible model was well underway.

Moers also suggested more road-legal GT models were in the pipeline, but refrained from revealing any more details.
