A new £300m car plant dedicated to producing electric vehicles has opened by the London Taxi Company.

It is also the first vehicle manufacturing site -  in Coventry - to be opened in over a decade.

The company faced administration in 2013 until China's Zhejing Geely Holding Group stepped in.

More than 1,000 jobs, including 200 engineers and 30 apprenticeships, have been created by the opening of the plant. 

The new electric taxi will go on sale in London towards the end of 2017, and then around the world in early 2018.

Geely said 5,000 vehicles a year will be produced by 2019.
