@PJTheEconomist @pollytoynbee Spot on. Exactly what we found amongst Midlands’ manufacturing firms - burdens of post-Brexit non-tariff barriers proved particularly challenging to smaller firms in manufacturing supply chains. @cssjournal1 @UKandEU @UoB_Business tandfonline.com/doi/10.1080/21…

Here in the UK, auto firms are operating well below capacity, & in some cases may be pushed below viability levels. The govt’s industrial strategy needs to spell out now how it will help the industry, including immediate short term support to keep plants open. @BenMNorman

Tesla’s recent letter to the US govt (unsigned as nobody wanted to be fired) made clear the risks to Tesla from this approach - higher retaliatory tariffs, increased component costs.

A later White House clarification confirmed that components are also covered by tariffs. This will push up assembly costs in the US given the large amounts of components coming in from Mexico & Canada. US car production will be become more expensive and US car prices will go up.

German brands like Mercedes, BMW and Audi will look to make more cars in the US (all have assembly operations there), which Trump hopes for. They also have Mexican operations, which appear to be caught by the tariffs.

The US is the UK's largest auto export market after the EU. There will be a particular impact on the West Midlands region which is the number one exporting region to the US (think JLR & Aston Martin for example) + is also the centre for components going into exported cars.

Cars are the UK's number one goods export to the US, at £8.3bn in the year to the end of Q3 in 2024, out of around £60bn in total UK exports to the US - or about 14% of UK goods exports to the US. Firms like JLR, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin and MINI will be most affected.

The UK and EU auto industry was already being squeezed by falling sales in China, stagnant demand in Europe, and slow EV take up. It's a perfect storm for the European auto industry. UK auto already has a low volume crisis with plants operating well below capacity.

Trump auto tariffs - a quick thread. As expected - 25% tariffs on all car imports to the US. This will have a big impact on major auto exporters to the US: Europe (including the UK), Japan, South Korea, Mexico and Canada. @UKandEU
