New Nissan Qashqai facelift spotted testing for the first time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThe Sunderland factory\u2019s future was in doubt as recently as 2021, when it benefitted from a trade deal between the UK and EU. Additional focus has been placed on the Nissan plant\u2019s future and its electrification since plans for Britishvolt\u2019s gigafactory in nearby Northumberland collapsed earlier this year with the firm narrowly avoiding administration.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nissan Sunderland already has plenty of experience building EVs. The first and second-generation Leaf have been built there and in 2021 the firm announced it would make the Leaf\u2019s successor in Sunderland too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A \u00a31bn \u201cEV36Zero hub\u201d will help bring these plans to fruition, which initially created 900 jobs at Nissan. Further plans for the next-generation Juke and Qashqai should create more jobs on top of this or at least secure the jobs of the existing workforce of over 6,000 people. Nissan said the EV36Zero hub could account for a 9GWh capacity but could expand to 35GWh – enough for 100,000 EVs to be built per year at Sunderland.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sky\u2019s report came soon after chancellor Jeremy Hunt announced the government\u2019s Autumn Statement on Wednesday with \u00a32 billion of support for zero-emissions in the automotive industry. Electric vehicle customers received no such help however as Hunt resisted calls for incentives for EV buyers and reduced VAT costs of public EV charging.<\/p>\n
