Liberty creates 250 North East jobs |
Liberty Electric Cars, the Oxford-based green car company set up to provide environmentally-friendly luxury and family cars, will be manufacturing a range of zero emission 4 x 4 electric Range Rovers in the North East.
The company aims to create 250 jobs in Northumberland, and will bring £120 million into the area.
Liberty Electric Cars is expecting to sell 1,000 of the plug-in cars annually. Barry Shrier, chief executive, expects the sector to expand in the future, moving out of its "early adoption phase" into "mainstream sales".
He said: "The Liberty Electric Range Rover takes electric vehicle technology into a new sector, to large luxury cars that people aspire to drive, particularly in cities and urban environments where environmental controls are becoming increasingly tighter."
