Norton expands factory with help from Iscar
An agreement between Norton Motorcycles and Iscar Tools, is helping to bring new versions of the famous marque to the road and track in 2010.
Year-to-date output has surpassed 2 million units with volumes up some 60,000 on the same period in 2017.
Mike Hawes, SMMT chief executive, said: “Given September’s drop in output from UK car plants, it’s no surprise to see engine production follow suit. Preparation for tough new emissions tests, model changes and operational restructuring have all played a role, and today’s figures, which also show healthy exports growth, highlight our reliance on global demand for our advanced, low emission powertrains. To ensure this sector continues to break records, maintaining free and frictionless trade is imperative.”
