About Nissan UK
Nissan started production in Sunderland in July 1986, and since then the plant has grown into the biggest plant in the history of the UK automotive industry, supporting over 46,000 UK jobs.
Current production in Sunderland includes the Nissan Qashqai, Juke and LEAF, most of which (70%) are exported to mainland Europe, with 20% sold in the UK and a further 10% exported to markets than span the globe, from South America to Australia, and from the Nordics to South Africa.
You will be joining us at a very exciting time as we support Nissan’s corporate vision of carbon neutrality. EV36ZERO is a £1 billion investment turning Nissan Sunderland into a flagship Electric Vehicle (EV) Hub creating a world-first EV manufacturing ecosystem.
Nissan will invest up to £423 million to produce a new-generation all-electric vehicle in Sunderland. Building on our expertise in crossovers and the worldwide success of the Nissan LEAF, it promises next-generation vehicle styling, efficiency and battery technology, making the switch to electric driving even more accessible.
