"An ongoing degree of volatility is likely as the industry restructures to transition to zero emission vehicle production," SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes said in a statement.
Automakers Nissan and Tata Motors have announced multi-billion-pound investments in EV production at their UK plants, bolstering the industry's foreign investment and drive towards net zero emissions.
