Coventry – is the UK's 'motor city' still driving forwards?

The last Peugeot to be made at the company's Coventry plant rolled off the production line 10 years ago. It could have been the death knell for the city's automotive industry, but new technology is inspiring confidence once more in the UK's "motor city".

Ten years ago the mood in the city was sombre, certainly at the Peugeot plant, near Ryton, where production was ending.

Jim O'Boyle, union convenor and Peugeot worker for 20 years, said he watched the last vehicle coming off the track (production line).

"They were ripping up the the track just behind it as the last car came off. It was terrible," he said.
