The automotive industry is highly globalised and integrated within the EU

■ Large, global volume manufacturers have organised their R&D and production networks to serve their major markets. ■ For example, Nissan manufactured over 500,000 at its Sunderland plant in 2013. 19% of this was sold domestically in the UK, 71% of these were exported to the rest of Europe (including Russia) and 10% exported to rest of the world.

Nissan’s Investment Decision Framework

Plants within the Renault Nissan Alliance compete for new model allocation based on efficiency and cost competitiveness.

• Nissan’s Sunderland plant competes with other Renault plants in France and Spain as well as other Nissan facilities in order to secure “We build cars for Europe in the UK.” future model allocation. Chief Planning Officer, Nissan • The final allocation decision is based on economic grounds.

Suppliers follow OEM investment decisions which effectively define the supply chain geography ■ For example. suppliers have increased capacity following JLR’s announcement to set up a new engine in Wolverhampton. ■ One of such suppliers is BorgWarner, who is setting up a plant in Bradford to produce turbochargers that will be supplied to JLR’s engine factory.

Significant trade opportunities with non-EU markets

■ UK exports vehicles to over 100 countries (50% to non-EU markets). ■ Many of UK-built premium and luxury vehicles are exported to emerging markets.

However, growth is impeded by protectionism and trade barriers ■ Emerging markets have introduced barriers to promote investment in their home countries. ■ 154 new tariffs and restrictive measures were identified by the ACEA in the year to June 2013. – For example, Brazil’s 35% import tariff and subsequent Inovar-Auto programme. This reduced EU car exports to Brazil by 11% in 2013. – Similarly China and India also impose high import tariffs for vehicle imports. For example, the Range Rover Evoque (Diesel, 2,200cc) would currently attract a total of 51% import tariffs, sales and consumption taxes in China and a 125% import tariff in India. ■ The UK does not have the critical mass to negotiate on a global basis. “Non-tariff barriers such as different The EU acts on behalf of its member states to negotiate FTAs on a global basis regulations and standards add over 20% to the cost of trading between the ■ 30 free trade agreements have been successfully negotiated by the EU.

Common regulation and standards are important for manufacturers to compete across a single EU market ■ Harmonisation of regulations and standards removes cost and complexity of conformance. ■ The EU will remain the most important single market for vehicles manufactured in the UK for the foreseeable future and the rules and regulations that apply to companies selling in the EU have a substantial impact. The UK, therefore, needs the ability to influence regulations to be appropriate for structure of the UK industry ■ The following are good examples of where the UK has been able to influence the regulation that is appropriate to the unique structure of the UK automotive industry.

CO2 • The UK played a key role in shaping the EU CO2 regulations to ensure it was appropriate for niche and small volume manufacturers, without compromising the environmental objectives of the legislation. “If we do not participate, then the EC SSTA • The UK was able to influence the EU to ensure Swiss authorities accepted standards are all set in Small Series Type Approval (EC SSTA) vehicles without additional tests, ensuring extra costs were not placed on low volume manufacturers.

The EU can be used as a platform to amplify issues that the UK consider to be important for its industry

■ Automotive standards vary globally with most large automotive manufacturing regions having their own national bodies. ■ The EU has the scale and through the UNECE and its World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP29) can influence future direction of automotive standards.

EU standards are often adopted by other non-EU countries thus highlighting EU influence on a global level

■ China, which is the world’s largest vehicle market, has adopted EU emission standards since 2000. ■ The UK can play a key role in influencing regulations and standards to ensure issues important to the UK industry are adequately recognised at EU level and globally.

There is a clear call for further simplification and reduction of the regulatory burden

■ There are issues highlighted by the industry around the complexity and volume of regulation and compliance requirements. ■ The UK is not a lone voice in pushing for reforms. ■ Smart regulation is a key deliverable of two successive EU initiatives – CARS 21 and CARS 2020.

All rights reserved. 22 Chapter 5 – Driving innovation change Access to EU funding is benefiting UK businesses

Collaboration with EU counterparts and access to EU funding will be key enablers in the UK’s leadership of the low emission vehicle industry

■ In total £3.5 billion has been awarded to UK businesses and universities across all sectors. ■ Three recent automotive examples include: – The University of Warwick, is part of a consortium that has received funding (€10 million) from the FP7 for research into lightweight technology for application in structural vehicle parts of future volume electric vehicles. – , received funding during 2012/2013 as part of a EU wide consortium for SmartBatt. €3.3 million received from FP7 for the project. – European Thermodynamics Limited, received €2.3 million between 2012 and 2014 for a thermo-electric power generation system powered by exhaust waste thermal energy. ■ Despite this success, UK automotive companies lag behind UK universities and companies in other sectors, such as aerospace, in engaging with EU funding. “EU funding allows us to increase our research capacity aligned to our corporate strategy and technology The opportunity is global as reducing emissions is a focus of governments roadmaps as well as gain access to worldwide. expertise from a range of disciplines and organisations.” ■ China for example has enacted a target of160 g/km by 2015 and a proposed target of 117 g/km Commercial Manager, MIRA (for gasoline vehicles) by 2020. ■ If the UK is able to capitalise on its strengths then there is a significant global opportunity.

All rights reserved. 23 Chapter 6 – People & Skills Benefits of free movement of labour in the EU

The UK automotive industry benefits from the skills of both EU and global employees ■ The UK has benefitted from the investment and the skills that was brought by Japanese OEMs and more recently by German OEMs.

Skills are a critical global competitiveness issue for UK automotive ■ Long term prosperity requires a suitably skilled and experienced workforce and there is a shortage of qualified scientists, engineers and technologists (SET) in the UK. ■ An EU wide talent pool is important in maximising the ability to recruit specific, high quality talent.

Access to a flexible and moveable workforce is key for current and future growth

■ The automotive industry is highly integrated across the EU and highly skilled engineers frequently need move between plants or collaborate on research and development projects.

The process of employing or transferring Non-EU nationals is complex and costly making intra-EU transfers considerably easier for businesses ■ Strict eligibility criteria for granting work visas restricts mobility for non-EU nationals.

International experience is a pre-requisite for individual career progression ■ International experience is key for leadership roles. ■ Graduate programmes also place great importance on international mobility for progression.

All rights reserved. 25 Summary Membership of the EU is central to the long-term success of the UK automotive industry

 The UK automotive industry has seen an unprecedented wave of investment ■ A key factor in attracting this investment is that the UK is an excellent location to make vehicles for the EU market.

 The EU is the UK’s largest trading partner by far ■ Over 50% of UK vehicle exports are to the rest of the EU and over 40% of components are sourced from the rest of the EU.  Regulations define the shape of the EU market and UK’s ability to influence this is key

■ It is not just pure access to the EU market that is important. Within the EU, the UK has influenced regulations such as vehicle CO2 emissions to not disadvantage our industry.

 The EU’s bargaining power is a powerful force in trade negotiations ■ Some of the UK’s vehicle manufacturers that export worldwide face high trade barriers in emerging markets e.g. China and India.

 The automotive industry is globalised and UK manufacturers are dependent on their worldwide operations

■ R&D in particular requires access to expertise and the free movement of engineers within the EU is an asset to the UK industry.

 However, membership of the EU does pose challenges to the UK automotive industry

■ The cost of EU regulations to UK businesses is substantial – estimated at £9.4 billion per annum across al sectors ■ However, if the UK were to exit, it may not be possible to avoid a large proportion of these costs
