NAIGT was established in April 2008 with the task of developing a 20 year vision for the future of the UK automotive industry and to make recommendations on how to achieve this vision. It was set out that the NAIGT would develop a strategy for sustained success for UK automotive, paying particular attention to challenges of low cost competition and a transition to lower-carbon transport. NAIGT is chaired by Prof. Richard Parry-Jones CBE, led by a steering group of various industry executives and comprised of expert groups examining key areas of NAIGT focus.
