In the wake of continuing general economic uncertainty within the overall bus manufacturing sector in the UK and consequent inability to derive the benefits of scale, Ashok Leyland’s stepdown subsidiary -- Switch Mobility, UK has received approval from board for commencement of consultation process with employees for a potential cessation of manufacturing and assembly activities at its Sherburn facility. Switch Mobility is a manufacturer of electric buses having presence across the UK and Europe. 

Switch UK has no plans to exit the UK market. It will execute and complete all the orders on hand and will continue to provide aftermarket and service support from two other facilities in Rotherham and Thurrock for the existing vehicle parc. 

Ashok Leyland, the Hinduja Group flagship company in India, is engaged in the manufacturing of commercial vehicles and related components. The company’s products include buses, trucks, engines, defense and special vehicles.
