Car Trouble

The car in front? These days it's likely to be a Tesla - or Chinese. Britain's car industry built just 775,000 motors last year, the lowest figure since 1956. Dwindling investment means we increasingly lack the wherewithal to take part in the unfolding electric revolution. Amid a picture of unremitting gloom, Neil and Jonathan talk to Peter Wells, Director of the Centre for Automotive Industry Research at Cardiff University about the scale of the problem and what can be done.Presented by Jonathan Ford and Neil Collins.With Peter Wells.Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.In association with Briefcase.News Hosted on Acast.
