The immediate future of Vauxhall’s Luton plant has been secured after its French owner announced plans to build a new model of the Vivaro van and increase production in 2019.
PSA, the manufacturer of Peugeot and Citroen that acquired Vauxhall last year, is expected to invest around £100m in the plant despite persistent uncertainty over Brexit.
The UK government has given PSA £9m to facilitate the expansion, which will be regarded as an important vote of confidence in Britain.
Additional jobs could be created at Luton, and that the plant’s survival was effectively guaranteed for at least 10-12 years.
