MEP Hall welcomes Nissan decision to build Leaf in Sunderland

12.00.00am GMT Thu 18th Mar 2010

Commenting on Nissan's decision to manufacture its new electric car in the North East, the region's Liberal Democrat MEP, Fiona Hall, said:

"This is fantastic news for the North East and a great boost for the region's emerging low carbon economy. Nissan's decision shows how much the North East can achieve by joined-up thinking and the political will to invest in new and green technologies. By putting in place a network of electric charging points and pushing electric vehicle pilot schemes, the region has made a formidable case for the new Leaf model to be produced in Sunderland."
