UK PRESS: Nissan’s Sunderland site in northeastern England is to
manufacture the Leaf, an electric vehicle described by the company as
the world’s first affordable, mass produced zero-emission car, the
company said on Thursday, the FT reports. The decision by Nissan to make
Sunderland its third global manufacturing location for electric vehicles
will, together with a previously announced lithium-ion battery plant at
the site, maintain around 2,250 UK jobs at Nissan and across the supply
chain, the paper says.
