The model will continue to also be produced at Hordain, France where the battery electric e-Scudo version is manufactured for all markets.
Luton also continues to build the ICE variants of the Vauxhall Vivaro, Opel Vivaro, Citroen Jumpy/Dispatch and Peugeot Expert LCVs.
Mark Noble, Luton plant director, said: “Its great news to start manufacturing the Scudo; this means we now produce all of the Stellantis brands mid-sized LCVs, for both the UK and Europe.”
Meanwhile, Stellantis is converting the Vauxhall/Opel Astra final assembly plant at Ellesmere Port to build electric versions of Stellantis’ smaller van line.
