Nissan Motor Co. is in discussions with the UK government about making additional investments in its plant in Sunderland in a rare potentially positive development for automaking in the country.
The plant has “a lot of good potential,” Chief Executive Officer Makoto Uchida said during a virtual keynote at the FT Future of the Car Summit on Wednesday. Sunderland, the UK’s biggest auto factory which makes the Nissan Qashqai and Juke crossovers, is a key site for Nissan and it’s “in a good position for the future.”
