🚖PSA Group is cutting jobs at a UK factory that builds Opel and Vauxhall Astra cars for European markets.
The French automaker, which finalized its purchase of Opel/Vauxhall from General Motors in August, will ax up to a quarter of the workforce at Vauxhall’s plant in Ellesmere Port in northwest England.
PSA said it will cut 400 jobs at the factory to improve the production facility’s competitiveness, confirming an earlier report in Automotive News Europe.
Ellesmere Port needs to adjust production volumes because of “challenging European market conditions and a declining passenger car market, a PSA spokesman said on Friday.
