Vauxhall to be all electric in 2028!

Vauxhall is opening the next chapter of its comprehensive electrification offensive: the British brand will focus entirely on full battery electric vehicles from 2028. 

Paul Willcox, Managing Director, Vauxhall Motors, commented: “As of 2028, Vauxhall will only offer fully electric cars and vans in the UK.  The future of the automotive industry is electric – and Vauxhall will lead that in this country. We are on a journey to reinvent Vauxhall and heading towards a net zero CO₂ future – CO₂ is the new currency in our industry.”

At the Stellantis EV Day it was announced that a new, exciting, all-electric car – a modern day version of the Opel Manta – will be introduced mid-decade following on from the positive public reception to the Manta GSe ElektroMOD restomod concept. 

Today, Vauxhall offers nine electric or electrified cars and vans with the Corsa Electric, Mokka Electric, Grandland Plug-in Hybrid​ , Combo Electric, Combo Life Electric, Vivaro Electric, Vivaro Life Electric and Movano Electric. 

In the first six months of this year, Corsa Electric is the bestselling battery electric supermini and Vauxhall itself is the UK’s number one electric van manufacturer.  With the introduction of the all-electric Combo Electric and Movano Electric LCVs, Vauxhall will offer fully electric vans across its range by the end of 2021.  Including the car range, the entire Vauxhall portfolio will offer electrified versions by 2024 and then move to fully electric in 2028.
