Font size:
Nissan will reportedly make an announcement on electric car production in its Sunderland plant in Britain.
This will be the second announcement of its kind by a global automaker in less than a week. Toyota confirmed plans to build a hybrid Auris in Burnaston, Derbyshire, from the middle of next year.In April, Nissan has be awarded to €400m ($565m) grant by the European Investment Bank - to be split between its operations in Britain and Spain, but the company has reportedly decided to invest the bulk of it in the UK.
Nissan is Britain's largest carmaker by production volume. Its plant in Sunderland in north-east England has 4,200 employees.
Last month, Nissan has been approved by the U.S. DOE for a $1.6 billion loan to modify its Smyrna, Tenn., manufacturing plant, to produce electric vehicles and lithium-ion battery packs by 2012.
