PSA to cut about 400 jobs at Vauxhall's Ellesmere Port

Paris

FRENCH carmaker PSA on Friday said it would cut about 400 jobs at Vauxhall's Ellesmere Port in Britain by the end of the year to improve the production facility's competitiveness.

PSA acquired the Opel and Vauxhall brands from General Motors Co in August, helping the carmaker leapfrog French rival Renault SA to become Europe's second-ranked carmaker by sales.
