Nissan commits £170 million to Sunderland hybrid SUV
Nissan plans to invest £170 million to build a new hybrid sport-utility vehicle at its Sunderland factory, the Financial Times reports. The model would be the plant's fourth, as the carmaker seeks to raise a utilisation rate currently hovering around 50 per cent. The RSS report does not give production or launch dates.
Why it matters
The investment adds work to a major UK car plant that has been operating well below its potential capacity.
