Hundreds of jobs have been secured at Ford's Halewood factory after the automotive giant announced a further £125m investment.
The company is to increase the annual production of electric power units by 70% to 420,000 in a move that will safeguard 500 jobs at the site.
Ford added that its Halewood plant is " integral" to its European electrification plans which will see it only sell zero-emission cars from 2030 and all vehicles by 2035.
