Nissan has announced that it will invest £100 million into its UK plant, which currently manufactures its electric LEAF model.
The investment aims to give security to the Sunderland plant beyond 2020 and has been praised by Chancellor George Osborne as "an important sign of Britain being chosen as a global leader in car production".
The plant stands as the biggest in the UK, having produced 500,000 cars last year. The new investment is expected to secure 6,700 jobs at the plant and over 27,000 jobs in the supply chain.
