Nissan production expansion in Sunderland

Overview

Nissan is expanding production capabilities at its Sunderland plant in the United Kingdom. Following technical delays that slowed the output of the third-generation Leaf, the company is ramping up manufacturing for that model, which features a crossover design and various battery options.

In addition to the Leaf, Nissan has announced a £170 million investment to manufacture the Kicks, a compact B-segment crossover, at the Sunderland facility. The Kicks will utilize third-generation e-POWER hybrid technology, which uses an internal combustion engine to generate electricity for an electric motor. This new model joins an existing production lineup in the UK that includes the Qashqai, Juke, and Leaf.
