Stellantis plans to shut down its Vauxhall van factory in southern England as it invests more in EV production.
Over 1,000 jobs are at risk due to the factory shutdown, but Stellantis argues that jobs will be relocated to its Ellesmere Port site in northern England.
The UK government is reconsidering EV sales targets and opening consultations for Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandates.
Automakers have expressed concerns that the ZEV mandates threaten jobs and Britain's appeal as a manufacturing hub.
