Carmaker had a 466 million-pound loss in 2020
Sees sales almost doubling this year
Shares jump by 9%
LONDON: Aston Martin expects to almost double sales and move back towards profitability this year after sinking deeper into the red in 2020, when the luxury carmaker was hit by the pandemic, changed its boss, and was forced to raise cash.
