What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

France and Germany put forward a proposal to allow the UK automotive industry to be included in the Industrial Accelerator Act, known as the Made in Europe scheme. Downing Street stated that inclusion would be beneficial for the British automotive industry. However, this inclusion is reportedly conditional on the UK aligning with the EU’s position on tariffs for Chinese-made electric vehicles, a measure Britain has previously resisted.

The scheme is designed to protect clean technology and electric vehicle manufacturers from competition from China. Industry leaders, such as Ola Källenius of ACEA, warned that excluding the UK could weaken the automotive industry across both the UK and the EU.
