It is not unfair to assume that the decision to leave the EU will influence investment decisions by foreign car companies on production sites in the UK.For example,Japanese auto makers such as Toyota,Nissan and Honda export more than three quarters of their vehicles built in Britain,and most of these exports go to other European countries.Were they to have to pay duty on the shipments of goods,they might decide to move out of the UK.We assume,however,that the UK government will develop regulations and supporting measures to avoid this.In any case,there are currently frequent announcements on investment plans concerning capacity expansions and modernization by foreign and local automotive companies.Investments in the general industry sector should also gain momentum.The development of robot installations in the next few years depends on the question“if and when”these planned projects will actually be implemented in the country.This said,it can be assumed that investments planned by domestic manufacturers will most likely go ahead and that and that modernization,as well as a strengthening of their overall competitiveness,will continue unabated.

退出欧盟的决定将影响外国汽车公司在英国投资生产基地决定的假设，有失公平。例如，如丰田、日产和本田等日本汽车制造商在英国生产的汽车有四分之三以上是出口的，其中大部分出口到其他欧洲国家。如果他们必须为货物运输缴税，他们可能会决定搬离英国。但是，我们认为，英国政府将制定法规和配套措施来避免这种情况。无论如何，目前外资和本地汽车企业的扩容和现代化投资计划目前正频频公布。对一般行业的投资也应该有所增长。未来几年机器人采用的发展取决于这些计划在英国“是否及何时”实际实施的问题。这就是说，可以认为英国国内厂商计划的投资很可能会继续下去，现代化升级以及整体竞争力的提升将会有所增加。
