Britain had pressed for a special deal for Jaguar Land Rover because it argued that the rules favoured much larger companies which owned a range of marques of varying sizes and had more flexibility in how they met the target.
Other British manufacturers which produce fewer than 10,000 cars a year, including Aston Martin, Lotus and McLaren, have also won the right to have special targets which will be easier for them to achieve than the industry-wide one.
LTI, which makes London’s black cabs, was granted exemption from the rules.
