Very sad to hear Vauxhall Luton will shut permanently in April. Another great Christmas for the 1100 employees. They made my sons previous Electric Vivaro which was pretty good considering its hefty size 🥲🥲
Another sad day
- Thread starter Dustydog
- Start date
The production of electric vans will move to Ellesmere Port, Cheshire with a handful of Luton workers being transferred - but production on IC vans will move to mainland Europe - ironic as it was always Ellesmere Port that was under threat of closure by GM with Luton always staying safe.
This is what happens when you have a mad unjustified rush to zero carbon by a certain person and then fine the manufacturer up to £5000 for each unit when consumers do not want to buy EVs!

Actually it is. £15k charge per ICE car , introduced in to law in early 2024 by whom?
Surprising how some of today’s papers journalists have similar such short memories.
ZEV mandate: 22% of new cars must be electric this year
New legislation has just come into force requiring all UK car manufacturers to meet targets for new electric car sales, which could result in big discounts for car buyers

The ICE levy of £15k per car in excess of the quota came in to law in January 2024. The minister in question was not responsible then. Selective memory syndrome methinks.
