The Luton plant has not only produced a van that has won ’Best Medium Van’ at the Van Fleet Awards no less than seven times, but they have achieved 10.1 million hours worked without a Lost Work Day case.Our Ellesmere Port manufacturing site has a headcount of 2,122, and a capacity of 187,000 units a year in three shifts.

Visionary Vehicles has modified its vision. It was originally formed to bring low-priced, Chinese-made cars to the US through a partnership with China's Chery Automobile; the deal fell apart when Chery backed out. Malcolm Bricklin -- Visionary Vehicles' founder and CEO and the idea man who brought Americans the Subaru and the Yugo -- is looking to build the first new car company that offers a full line of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), including an electric luxury sedan (EVLS). The Bricklin EVX/LS could hit showrooms by 2011. The plug-in hybrid would get nearly 100 miles to the gallon, seat five, and cost about $35,000.

Rudyard Kipling wasn't driving a Volvo when he wrote, "East is east, West is west, and never the twain shall meet." Clearly the two did meet when China's Zhejiang Geely Holding (Group) Co., Ltd. (owned by Geely Automobile Chairman Li Shu Fu) purchased Swedish carmaker Volvo Car Corporation from Ford Motor in mid-2010 for about $1.3 billion. Volvo Car Corporation continues to produce a handful of passenger car models, including the S-Range sedan, V-Range spacious estate, XC-Range cross country, and C-Range coupe, from manufacturing facilities in Sweden and Belgium, as well as in Malaysia and China.
