Britain's new Labour government is set to launch a consultation on auto manufacturers' sales targets as the country transitions to electric vehicles. This decision comes in the wake of Stellantis, the owner of Vauxhall, announcing the closure of its van factory in southern England, potentially putting 1,100 jobs at risk.
The Business Secretary informed lawmakers that challenges faced by Stellantis in the shift to electric vehicles are not unique. The government aims to prevent the closure of the plant and address the issues at hand.
