UK to become centre for Electric car production

Nissan and GM are on the verge of committing to build ground breaking electric cars in the UK. The zero emissions vehicles would save existing jobs and could help create additional jobs, if the current trends towards electric vehicles continues.

This is positive news for the Motor Trade in this country, who have seen reduced footfall through their showrooms and slow vehicle sales in 2009.

Nissan are currently assessing their Sunderland factory as a site for manufacture of 50,000 electric cars per year. The companies goal is to become the world leaders in high volume electric car production. Whilst General Motors are considering manufacturing their latest electric cars on Merseyside.
