- Electric cars are driving the recovery of UK car manufacturing 🚗⚡ Even as overall vehicle production hits its lowest level in decades, there’s a clear silver lining: electrification is already powering the turnaround 📈
- ⚡ Electrified vehicle production (EVs, hybrids & plug-ins) rose 8%+ last year, hitting a record ~42% of total UK output - the highest ever. 🚘 Nissan has restarted production of the new electric Leaf in Sunderland, with more EV launches coming.
- 📊 The industry forecasts a real recovery: • ~10% production growth in 2026 • A path back to 1 million vehicles a year by 2027
- This isn’t just about numbers - it’s about future-proofing UK manufacturing, protecting jobs, and strengthening Britain’s global role. Let’s accelerate this momentum ⚡ 🔗 www.motoringresearch.com/car-news/202...
- 🚆⚡ Battery-powered trains are here! Historic moment on UK rails: the first battery-only passenger train has entered service on the West Ealing -> Greenford line, replacing a diesel unit with one running entirely on stored energy. 🔋 🔗 Full story: www.railway.supply/uk-battery-o...
- 💥 World record alert: This train travelled 200.5 miles on a single charge-the longest distance ever by a battery-electric train! As Dr Simon Green at GWR says, it proves battery tech is reliable, efficient, and ready to roll.
- Meanwhile, our CEO Camilla Born visited Wales to see electrification in action-from overhead lines to fast-charge tech. ⚡ Record-breaking innovation + future-ready rail. The future of rail is here, and it’s charging ahead. 🚉
- Electrifying heat cuts reliance on imported gas, protects households from volatile fossil fuel prices, and strengthens UK energy security - while boosting homegrown industries. This is about jobs, resilience and a stronger economy. Electrify heat. Power the economy. ⚡
