Work well underway to electrify Sunderland plant, but keeping operation in the UK "is a real challenge"
Nissan’s UK factory is primed to start production of the next-generation Leaf from March 2025, as part of a wide-reaching £2 billion transformation of the Sunderland plant. Morphing from hatchback to crossover, as previewed by 2021’s Chill Out concept, the Leaf will be built alongside the Juke and Qashqai, as well as their pure-electric successors due in the coming years.
Asked why the firm chose to stick with Sunderland in light of the increased costs, Johnson said: “We are here, we’ve got an asset here - that’s not just facilities, that’s also the people. Therefore it is in our interest to get the best out of the assets that we have.
