CV production rose in November by 6%, according to data from the Office for National Statistics.
Christopher Macgowan, SMMT chief executive said: 'The recovery in CV demand throughout Europe has had a positive effect on UK production facilities. They have clearly been up to the challenge, delivering state-of-the-art vehicles throughout the EU. CVs produced for home markets remain broadly stable compared to 2003, reflecting the use of the UK as a positive outlet for new home produced vans and trucks. We still expect to meet the 2004 forecast for 210,000 units manufactured in the UK.'
Export growth went up 25 per cent for the month, 27.3 per cent over year-to-November.
Rolling year total to November up 26,218 units to 211,463CV production totals
