UK Car Trade Deal US & India

Two trade deals in one week could save uk car factories and jobs

After what feels like an eternity of bad headlines – factory closures, job cuts, parked-up cars, Brexit chaos, and Trumpian tariffs – we’ve actually got some good news to report.

UK Car Industry F#@KED!

Why Trump’s Tariffs Could Be the Final Blow

It’s official: the British car industry – what’s left of it – is on its knees. And now, thanks to Trump’s fresh round of protectionist punishment, it might finally be flatlined. According to a blistering Financial Times report, UK luxury carmakers – including Aston Martin, Bentley, Jaguar Land Rover, and McLaren – are staring down the barrel of a 25% US import tariff. The fallout? A potential 25,000 job losses right here in Blighty.

HEMI V8 is BACK?!

Have Dodge & RAM Just Done the UNTHINKABLE?!

Somebody pinch me – or just whack me with a wrench – am I imagining this? Or is it just wishful thinking? Could the HEMI V8, yes, that glorious, thunderous, petrol-drinking, tyre-shredding beast of an engine, which only last year was laid to rest with full honours and a 21-gun salute… could it actually be coming back to life? And I don’t just mean in slammed into a Restomod in a dodgy backstreet garage, but reportedly, potentially (and quite likely) from Stellantis themselves?!

UK Softens the ZEV Mandate

Hope for petrolheads? Or too little, too late?

So then – the UK Government did blink. Slightly. If you’ve been following the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Mandate saga, you’ll know that the government has been under pressure from both industry and motorists. And now, as of 9 April 2025, they’ve announced a set of updates that – while not exactly revolutionary – do soften the blow. A bit. Kind of. Maybe.

But let’s be clear – they haven’t scrapped the ZEV Mandate. That was never really on the cards. However, these changes might just buy a little more time for carmakers, dealers, and drivers who aren’t quite ready to go fully electric. Let’s break it down.
