BMW Switches Production Back Home...
BMW gave British manufacturing a boost yesterday by announcing that it was switching production of the engines for its new Mini from Brazil to Birmingham.The company said it would invest £200m and create 450 new jobs to produce the next-generation Mini at its plant at Cowley, near Oxford, increasing the proportion of the car that is produced in Britain from 40% to 60%.
The launch of the new Mini was attended by Gordon Brown who said it was "a great day for Britain" that showed "the continuing vitality of the UK motor industry" and that the country could be "the home of world-class manufacturing".
