Coventry’s proposed gigafactory (Coventry City Council/PA)
“Mission critical” plans are being submitted for a Coventry electric car battery plant that could create up to 6,000 new jobs.
Planning permission to build the 5.7 million square feet gigafactory will boost ambitions to keep automotive production at the heart of the West Midlands region, according to the joint venture behind the move.
Proposals for the site, which could create up to 6,000 jobs directly, and tens of thousands more in the supply chain, were first unveiled in February.
West Midlands Mayor Andy Street said it was “mission critical that the West Midlands secures a gigafactory” to safeguard its key industry, economy and the “future of our planet”.
