London, 01 May 2024, (Oilandgaspress): –Bentley Motors has taken the next step on its journey to become fully electric and the world’s most sustainable luxury automotive manufacturer with a ground-breaking ceremony for a new Paint Shop in Crewe. This investment transforms an 85 year old site for a new age of electrification and confirms Bentley’s commitment to Crewe, England.
The new facility at Bentley’s carbon neutral headquarters will be integral to the brand’s preparations for future Battery-Powered Electric Vehicle production and to set a new benchmark in next generation, digital, flexible and high-value manufacturing operations.
To mark the occasion, Andreas Lehe, Bentley’s Board Member for Manufacturing, and Jan-Henrik Lafrentz, Bentley’s Board Member for Finance and IT, officially started construction by breaking ground.
The new 12,460 sqm. Paint Shop will be completed in 2025 and will offer an expanded paint colour choice of near 100 individual colours to customers, uniquely celebrated as part of the exterior building design. Additionally, there will be a four storey office building which in total will be home to more than 370 Bentley colleagues.
The new building forms part of a £2.5 billion investment programme in future products and at the Pyms Lane factory in Crewe, where all Bentley models are handcrafted.
