Nissan

Nissan has invested more than £450 million to manufacture the new Leaf at its site in Sunderland, which has 6,000 workers and is the UK’s largest car factory.

Nissan will build its new Leaf model at its factory in Sunderland. The neighbouring gigafactory will make the batteries to power the cars.

There is no word yet as to where those cuts will fall yet but in a worldwide press conference, the CEO confirmed more cars will be made at the Wearside factory.
