An exciting year ahead!
“With some significant contract wins and established contracts set to grow, it’s a great time to work at Rudolph and Hellmann Automotive. Industry predicts the UK will be the third biggest car manufacturer in Europe by 2017 and confidence is high.” Jeff Hyde, Finance Director and Company Secretary.
Deutsche Bank estimates global automobile sales will rise 4% in 2014, to 87.4 million light vehicles. That would be slightly ahead of the 3.5% growth the industry is on track to hit for this year, when global auto sales are expected to total 84 million vehicles. Total auto sales estimates can vary because of inconsistencies in reporting by different countries and whether heavier duty vehicles are included in the total.
The key drivers will be a return to growth in Europe and continued strong demand in the U.S. and China.
After six years of decline in new-car sales, Europe should see a rise of 3% in 2014, to about 14 million light vehicles, according to Deutsche Bank’s forecast. While that total would be an improvement from 2013. Sales in China, the world’s biggest auto market since 2009, surged 13.9% to 21.98 million vehicles last year, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) said.
