Which vans contain the largest UK content in terms of manufactured components and labour?
Which vans contain the largest UK content in terms of manufactured components and labour? Currently, I'm looking to purchase and hopefully offer some support to UK manufacturing. Are Vauxhall’s just a badged Renaults? Thank you.

Probably the LEVC VN5: vans.honestjohn.co.uk/van-reviews/levc/vn5/
It's built in Coventry at a brand new factory and many of its components are sourced locally. However, that said, you'll struggle to find any van in the UK with 100% locally sourced parts. LEVC is owned by the Chinese firm Geely (which also owns Volvo). As a result, the VN5 shares many of its key parts with the XC40 and many of its parts are built in Sweden, Belgium and China.
