Vauxhall owner Stellantis blames EV rules for plan to close UK van factory
Stellantis blamed the UK’s electric vehicle sales rules as it announced plans to shut its van factory in Luton, putting about 1,100 jobs at risk. The owner of Vauxhall and Peugeot on Tuesday said Britain’s “challenging” EV sales quota played a “significant part” in its decision to consolidate its UK operations at the Ellesmere Port factory in Cheshire.
