GMM Luton/IBC Vehicles factory
GMM Luton is a British vehicle manufacturer, formerly known as IBC Vehicles. It currently produces light commercial vehicles under the Vauxhall, Renault, Nissan and Opel marques.
History
GMM Luton has its roots in Bedford Vehicles, the van manufacturing subsidiary of Vauxhall.
In 1986 the Bedford Vehicles van factory in Luton was reorganised as a joint venture with Isuzu. The resulting company was named IBC Vehicles (Isuzu Bedford Company Ltd), and produced a European version of the Isuzu MU Wizard called the Frontera and a range of Renault-designed vans sold under the Vauxhall and Opel brand names. The Bedford name was dropped completely as were all of its preceding range apart from the Midi.
In 1998 GM bought Isuzu out of the IBC partnership[3] and renamed the plant to GMM Luton.
Products
Since 2001 GMM Luton produces the Vauxhall/Opel Vivaro, Renault Trafic and Nissan Primastar.[4] By 2011, the plant had produced 1.25 million vehicles since the 2001 launch, with production now down to 68,000 vehicles a year, with a capacity for 100,000.
Vauxhall announced in 2011 that the 2013 Vivaro would continue production at Luton and the high roof versions and the Renault Trafic would be manufactured at Sandouville, France.[5]
