“Astra factory to shut unless UK can offer stimulus deal
Vauxhall says plan to build new car at Ellesmere Port plant abandoned over 2030 combustion engine ban
Vauxhall will stop producing the Astra at Ellesmere Port in Cheshire and close the plant completely in April next year unless the Government can incentivise it to build a new model at the site.
A briefing on manufacturing volumes issued by Vauxhall’s parent company to suppliers shows the production of the current model of the Astra is expected to end in a year.
The 80-page document circulated in the past fortnight by Vauxhall owner PSA Group – which merged with Fiat Chrysler in January to become Stellantis – includes a “first forecast for European main events”. This includes an “end of life” summary for the current model of the Astra.
Ellesmere Port employs almost 1,000 people building estate versions of the Astra and supports 6,000 supply chain jobs.”
