[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.]
