UK data - Vehicle production has its weakest February since 2009

British car production last month was 41% lower than a year earlier

• reflecting ongoing disruption from chip shortages and Honda's closure of a car plant in July
• cars made in Britain in February the lowest number for the time of year since February 2009 and down from 105,008 a 12 months earlier
• British car production in 2021 sank to the lowest since 1956, due to the growing impact of semiconductor shortages, and is half its level of five years ago
