Step inside one of the North East’s most iconic manufacturing sites as Nissan Sunderland opens its doors for a behind-the-scenes tour.
As the UK’s largest car manufacturer and a key player in the region’s economy, Nissan Sunderland employs over 6,000 people across its sprawling 362,000-square-metre site. Known for its world-class manufacturing excellence, the plant is responsible for producing some of the country’s most popular vehicles, including the 2022 UK’s best-selling car: the Qashqai.
Since production began in 1986, Nissan Sunderland has built over 11 million cars – making it the fastest UK car manufacturer to reach this remarkable milestone. With a car rolling off the line every two minutes, this extraordinary achievement speaks to the efficiency and precision that define the site.
