Aston Martin announced today that its second major U.K. manufacturing facility, St Athan, will become the brand's centre for electrification and the production home of the Lagonda brand, the world's first zero-emission luxury marque.
The Rapide E will be built in Wales when production commences in 2019. Aston Martin's first all-electric production model creates a highly-desirable electric vehicle with the levels of performance expected of an Aston Martin.
St Athan has also been named as the home of Lagonda production. As the world's first luxury marque exclusively driven by zero emission powertrain technologies, it will commence production in 2021.
The Lagonda Vision Concept, revealed at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show hints at the bold design language that could be seen in future Lagonda products in as little as three years.
Aston Martin St Athan is now in the third and final phase of becoming a state-of-the-art vehicle assembly facility, in which production of the company's first SUV is due to begin in late 2019. The project includes the conversion of three super hangars on the former military site.
The plant is a demonstration of Aston Martin's continued commitment to the U.K. and an additional investment of $89.7 million to make St Athan the home of electrification for the marque shows a clear vision on the future of Aston Martin in the U.K. The new plant will bring up to 750 high skilled jobs to South Wales over the coming years, with more than 150 already recruited.
