UK Mechanical Power Transmission Industry Statistics - 2008 Edition

• UK Statistical profile
• Trade and production statistics

The BGA works closely with HM Customs and Excise (HMCE), The Office for National Statistics (ONS), EUROTRANS and others to clarify issues relevant to Members and promote Members' interests.

This collaboration has resulted in a greater understanding of PRODCOM (production) and CN (trade) codes and related statistical data by all concerned and has improved the clarity and accuracy of official statistics and provided more meaningful data to BGA Members.

Notes

1. Estimated Figures are in red
2. * Unallocated production: production of gears, transmissions, bearings and related components that cannot be allocated to a particular category for reasons of confidentiality.
3. ** Combined data: While bearings and bearing housings are not normally included as part of the Mechanical Power Transmissions totals, the bearing housings figure is likely to include gearbox casings.
4. Data are often adjusted retrospectively by ONS or HMCE.  All known adjustments are included in the data above.
