Consumer confusion over Brexit and the government’s policy on diesel are blamed for the first drop in U.K. vehicle production in eight years.
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders says U.K. plant production dropped 3% to 1,671,166 units in 2017, but the result still was the second-highest in 17 years.
The biggest drop was in the build for the domestic market, which fell 9.8% to 336,628 units.
