PRESSOPP MOKE produktionen flyttar hem till England.
Visst låter det nästan för bra för att vara sant, snabb koll i almanackan och nej det är inte 1 april idag så det är faktiskt sant.
OBS detta handlar om MOKE produktionen som fanns i Frankrike och inget annat.
(För övrigt så äger fortfarande BMW namnet Mini MOKE)
Den fullständiga flytten tillbaka till England har möjliggjorts av bidrag från brittiska staten, tillsammans med det nyligen genomförda handelsavtalet som ger brittiska bilföretag tullfri tillgång till EU-marknader.
Press release från MOKE International
All electric MOKEs will be manufactured in the marque’s home, the United Kingdom at a state-of-the-art facility operated by Fablink Group. The company is headquartered in Northamptonshire, the centre of Britain’s automotive heartland and attracts some of the most talented manufacturing, technical and engineering professionals in the industry.
Indeed, all electric MOKEs will be handcrafted by an expert team from a company with experience providing design, manufacturing and engineering services to some of the world’s leading automotive manufacturers including Jaguar Land Rover and Morgan. The company has over 500,000 sq/ft of production space and employs around 700 highly skilled engineers, production operators and technicians across six UK sites.
This long-term strategic commitment to UK manufacturing has been made enabled by UK government grant funding from the Niche Vehicle Network, alongside the recent trade deal which allows UK automotive businesses tariff-free access to EU markets, based on defined rules of origin. The company has reaffirmed its commitment to the UK with the creation of a number of key jobs in commercial functions.
“MOKE going electric secures the appeal of one of Britain’s best loved marques for many generations to come. MOKE’s marriage of fun, personality and open-air thrills will only be enhanced through the performance and silent running of an electric powertrain. We are proud to write a new chapter in one of British automotive folklore’s best love stories.”
