8 Vauxhall Reveals Radical Factory-test Film for New Vivaro Van 23 rd June. Vauxhall is thought to be the very first manufacturer to employ extreme test procedures in its Kimpton Road plant at Luton. The tests, which are designed to validate the agility, durability and safety of every new Vivaro van, have just been introduced and are now seen as commonplace among the 1200-strong workforce at the historic Luton factory. J-turns, handbrake turns and driving on two wheels across designated parts of the factory floor are just some of the tests that have been employed at the plant, and illustrate Vauxhall s commitment to making the New Vivaro the toughest and most driveable van on the market. The New Vivaro starts production this summer, with 40 per cent of its components coming from UK suppliers, many of whom are new to the company. Vauxhall is the largest manufacturer of LCVs in the UK, and has produced almost one million vans since the current model was launched in New Vivaro goes on sale later this year, priced from 17,995.
