Coventry is being put forward for the location of a huge gigafactory to make batteries for electric cars, with Coventry Airport identified as a suitable site.
The project, which would create around 4,000 jobs in the factory alone and thousands more in the supply chain, is being driven by a joint venture partnership between Coventry City Council and The Rigby Group, which owns Coventry Airport.

The public-private partnership represents a game-changing initiative in the UK’s pursuit of a Gigafactory, and further strengthens the West Midlands’ attraction for battery suppliers.
The Joint Venture partners will develop proposals and submit an outline planning application for a Gigafactory in 2021. This will take place alongside regional discussions with battery suppliers and automotive manufacturers to secure the long-term investment needed.
