Abstract
In this blog I want to report on our project on a “just transition” to electric vehicles in the automotive sector (with Sally Weller, Ian Henry, Al Rainnie, Gill Bentley and Beverley Nielsen) that was funded by the British Academy, and the implications in the West Midlands. As current talk on establishing a “Gigafactory” in the Region (namely, that proposed for the former Coventry Airport site) attests, securing as much value-added (and hence jobs) locally is vital if the West Midlands is to retain its pre-eminence in automotive manufacture in the UK.
