Vauxhall UK plant safe with electric vehicle plan
[Vauxhall owner Stellantis has announced
plans to build electric vans at its Ellesmere Port plant in Cheshire. The £100m investment, which the UK government will contribute to, will safeguard more than 1,000 factory jobs. The future of the plant has been in doubt after Vauxhall's parent company scrapped plans to build its new Astra model there. The Ellesmere Port plant will also make electric passenger car models for Vauxhall, Opel, Peugeot and Citroën. Production of an all-electric van will start in 2022, the carmaker said. The government has held talks with Stellantis about options for the Cheshire factory and ministers are understood to have offered about £30m in financial support.] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-57726818 |
