The plant will cost £200 million and cover a area and employ 700 people in its factory. 250 jobs will be created in building the factory with a further estimated 1,700 indirect jobs in the supply chain. The plant would use an existing siding in Goole that leads to a glass factory to provide access and egress for trains and will be sited on the Goole 36 industrial park adjacent to Junction 36 of the M62 motorway. There will be a manufacturing and commissioning site, offices, warehouses, stabling sidings and there is space for a test track to be installed, though what Siemens described as "extensive testing", would take place at their facility in Wildenrath, Germany. The buildings would cover and the internal lines in the complex would total . Groundbreaking for the factory happened in late 2019, with full opening planned for 2023.
