Nissan makes further commitments to Sunderland plant
Nissan Motor Company Ltd. today announced, following its Executive Committee meeting, that it will produce the next #qashqai and will add production of the next X-Trail model at its #sunderland, U.K. Plant.
Nissan’s decision follows the U.K. government’s commitment to ensure that the #sunderland plant remains competitive. As a result, #nissan will increase its investment in #sunderland, securing and sustaining the jobs of more than 7,000 workers at the plant.
“I am pleased to announce that #nissan will continue to invest in #sunderland. Our employees there continue to make the plant a globally competitive powerhouse, producing high-quality, high-value products every day,” said Carlos Ghosn, Chairman and CEO of #nissan. “The support and assurances of the U.K. government enabled us to decide that the next-generation #qashqai and X-Trail will be produced at #sunderland. I welcome British Prime Minister Theresa May’s commitment to the automotive industry in Britain and to the development of an overall industrial strategy.”
Nissan’s #sunderland plant opened in 1986 and has produced almost 9 million cars since. One in three British cars are produced in #sunderland, which is the UK’s largest car plant of all time.
