Aston Martin to open plant in Wales creating 750 jobs
Aston Martin is to create more than 750 jobs in Wales by opening a new factory. The car maker will build a new plant in St Athan from 2020.
So what's special about the DBX?
The DBX Concept is an all-electric 4 X 4 crossover vehicle. Aston Martin says it's a luxury GT concept
The company says it has no engine compartment because it uses four electric motors near the wheels powered by batteries. That means luggage can be put in boots at the front and back.
It has a drive-by-wire steering system and driver and passenger head-up displays (first seen in military aircraft).
Aston Martin says its glass darkens automatically and cameras replace conventional mirrors.
