A funding gap of just £40m risks scuppering attempts to ensure Stellantis’ Vauxhall factory at Ellesmere Port in Cheshire remains open.
The car giant has been mulling whether to reinvest in the plant, where it makes the Astra vehicle, due to the government’s decision to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030.
Executives have been in frequent talks with officials, including business secretary Kwasi Kwarteng, over plans to reinvest in the site.
The Telegraph reported that the government has offered Stellantis a portion of the £500m pot it has set aside to develop electric cars and their supply chains to keep the factory’s doors open.
