Vauxhall will use the Made in Britain badge on electric vans built in the UK, highlighting its continued manufacturing presence in the country.
Vauxhall is renewing its partnership with Made in Britain, with the badge appearing on Combo Electric vans produced at its £100m-transformed Ellesmere Port factory, the UK's first EV-only automotive manufacturing plant.
The move comes as electric commercial vehicle registrations rise by 23.7%, while new research reveals 70% of British consumers are more likely to buy products displaying the Made in Britain trademark.
The official Made in Britain trademark will appear on Vauxhall’s electric vans produced at Ellesmere Port, which is also the production site for its electric sister-models Berlingo, Partner and Doblo.
As part of Vauxhall’s new ‘Brit’s What We Do’ campaign, it is the second time that an automotive manufacturer has displayed the mark, which first featured on the Vauxhall Vivaro between 2016 and 2025.
Following a £100m transformation in 2023, Vauxhall’s Ellesmere Port factory in Cheshire became the UK’s first EV-only automotive manufacturing plant.
The plant, which has been manufacturing Vauxhalls since 1964, now features a battery pack assembly shop and a fully updated general assembly line to optimise energy efficiency and productivity, while a brand-new assembly line for the production of medium-sized vans is under construction.
The renewed collaboration between Vauxhall and Made in Britain comes as figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) reveal that electrified vehicles accounted for a record 41.7% of British car production in 2025.
Almost 300,000 battery-electric, plug-in hybrid and hybrid cars were manufactured in the UK, an increase of 8.3% on the previous year.
