The electric vehicles are the next-gen Mokka X and Vivaro van, building on the sales successes of the existing models. No further details have yet been released, including where the vehicles will be produced, following job cuts at Vauxhall’s Ellesmere Port production site in the UK.

The three EVs will be complemented by the carmaker’s forthcoming Grandland X plug-in hybrid, offering all-wheel drive and 298bhp.

Vauxhall says electrification between now and 2025 will represent the greatest technological advance in the company’s 115-year old history, since the first seven years of production between 1903-1910.
