The London Taxi Co (LTC) has inaugurated its new £300m vehicle plant in Ansty, Coventry, becoming the UK’s first dedicated electric vehicle manufacturing facility in the process. Investment and expansion in the new site and the next-generation London taxi has helped create more than 1000 new jobs, including 200 engineers and 30 apprenticeships. When at full capacity, the plant will be able to build more than 20,000 vehicles per year. The taxi vehicle is using Volvo Car electric powertrain system technologies and components comprising a new EV lightweight platform.
