Alexander Dennis, part of NFI Group, is consulting on a plan to secure #Scottish #manufacturing and protect jobs. The proposal would convert its Larbert site to focus on chassis production for low- and zero-emission #buses, while closing the #Falkirk facility. Around 200 jobs would be safeguarded, with 115 at risk of redundancy, and up to 350 roles retained across #Scotland. The move follows a 2025 furlough scheme with the Scottish Government, which helped preserve skills and capacity. The company said the change aligns with market demand and allows future flexibility in bus body manufacturing.
