German car giant BMW has announced plans to invest hundreds of millions of pounds to prepare its Mini factory near Oxford to build a new generation of electric cars.
Production of two new electric Mini models is due to begin at the plant in Cowley in 2026.
The move is expected to safeguard the future of the facility as well as that of another factory in Swindon.
More than 4,000 people work across the two sites.
A third electric model, the Countryman, will be made in Germany.
The UK investment will be backed by funding from the government.
