SOME OF BEDFORD's 10, employees are to be transfel to Vauxhall car production tween next summer and Aug 1984.
The move is part of Vauxlv response to growing demand its cars, notably the Cava saloon, and is being seen pa as an attempt to pre-empt un objections to imports of Nova small car from Spain.
While a second shift is seer necessary to build more can both Luton and Ellesmere P Bedford, like most other ma facturers, sees no early prosp of a growth in demand for Ion and vans.
A spokesman was unable say how many of the 10,000 ford employees would be tra ferred to car production, and was equally non-commital ab whether some might be mol to different factories.
While Bedford is nov separate division of Gem Motors, linked with the Uni States-based world-wide cc mercial vehicle operation, employees' terms and cor tions are still identical to thaw Vauxhall workers. Because this, it is possible, according the companies, for Vauxf workers to be transferred to Bi ford at a later date.
