MOKE International, the iconic British car manufacturer, has officially opened its new, wholly owned manufacturing facility in Leamington Spa, marking a significant milestone in the company's 60year.

The new facility will boost production efficiency, improve product quality, and strengthen MOKE's ability to meet the growing global demand for its Electric MOKE.

With production targets exceeding 500 units this year for markets including the USA and the Mediterranean, MOKE continues to contribute to the UK economy as a net exporter.

The new Leamington Spa facility reflects the company's commitment to British engineering and innovation in the EV sector. The company has created dozens of new clean-tech jobs as part of the expansion, and has tripled its workforce.

Nick English, executive chairman at MOKE International, said: "It's great to be bringing back production to the UK, and indeed the car manufacturing heartland in the Midlands, where the MOKE was originally designed by Sir Alec Issigonis.

"As we now celebrate 60 years of MOKE, we are thrilled to be marking such an exciting chapter, enhancing our craftsmanship and innovation while laying the foundation for future success."

The new facility is also a strategic step in MOKE International's long-term vision.

With investments in safety, homologation, and country-specific compliance, the Electric MOKE is now available in the USA, Mexico, France, Spain and the Balearic Islands, Italy, and soon, Greece. The vehicle has achieved M1 Small Series Approval, EPA Certification, and CARB approval, making it the first EV from a low-volume manufacturer to achieve this distinction and enabling MOKE International to sell in all 50 US states.
