Nissan is set to announce that it will build new electric models of its Qashqai and Juke cars in Sunderland.
The Japanese car manufacturer will confirm tomorrow that it plans to make new versions of the popular models after months of talks with the Government, it was reported last night.
The decision will protect thousands of jobs, boost the local economy in Sunderland – and confound the Brexit naysayers. Sources close to the Government told Sky News that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Chancellor Jeremy Hunt had helped get the deal over the line.
