Reports have suggested the firm could reveal plans to build a new electric van at the site in a move that would secure its immediate future, Business Live reports.
It's believed that after months of negotiation with the Government, ministers have finally decided to provide support for the struggling plant, according to Automotive News Europe.
A press conference is expected to take place on Tuesday morning at the firm's Cheshire base situated on the Wirral peninsula.
It comes after Nissan last week announced it is to build a new electric model in Sunderland, creating more than 1,600 jobs.
Vauxhall's French parent company PSA merged with Fiat Chrysler to form a new automotive superpower earlier this year called Stellantis.
Following that merger, it was revealed that the future of the North West plant was in doubt - largely due to the upcoming ban on new petrol and diesel cars.
Stellantis chief Carlos Tavares told a press conference Governments can "create situations which destroy the business model".
Last week, a senior executive at Stellantis said a "key component" in the survival of the factory is the domestic supply of electric car batteries.
Stellantis has been contacted for a comment.
