Aluminium components producer Sapa has reopened a British plant to supply the material for the country’s first electric vehicle factory that will produce London black cabs. Pictured above, an employee fixes aluminium parts to a flight bar to be dipped into cleaning and anodising tanks at the plant in Bedwas, Wales. After being closed for three years, owing to a weak market, the plant has been reopened to supply lightweight parts to automakers, including the London Electric Vehicle Company.
