More details from petition creator

Struggling van-maker LDV has asked the government for millions of pounds in loans to help secure its future.

It wants access to bridging loans to tide it over while it presses ahead with plans for a management buy-out.

The company, which employs 900 people in Birmingham and 5000 nationally, has seen sales plummet and suspended production in December.

LDV is planning to introduce the world’s first electric light commercial vehicle from a volume manufacturer in 2009.

Built in Birmingham, the electric MAXUS will offer UK businesses, councils and local authorities the opportunity to locally source a zero emission light commercial vehicle to minimise their carbon footprint.

LDV has become one of only five companies to be successfully short listed on the DfT low carbon initiative to supply electric vehicles to councils and local authorities from 2009.

We want the company to survive to save jobs in the UK and the MAXUS. Government should be supporting workers in the UK and green industries need to be developed to tackle the climate change.

Sign this petition to call on the government to secure the future for LDV
