Planes, trains and automobiles: How green transport can drive manufacturing growth in the UK
Article
Transport is essential to our lives. Unfortunately, it is currently also the largest source of UK domestic carbon emissions.

In this report, we show how the UK is well placed to capture this green growth potential, with existing areas of advantage and specialisation in transport manufacturing. The government should lean into these strengths, supporting transport manufacturing clusters across the country.
