A new car that will save more than 1,000 British jobs has been unveiled to workers at Nissan's Sunderland plant. The Nissan Qazana will go into production at the factory next year, safeguarding the future of 1,100 staff. Nissan has spent £57 million bringing the model to Sunderland, taking its investment in the UK to £2.5 billion. The Qazana, a crossover 4x4 that was unveiled as a concept at the recent Geneva Motor Show, was designed in London and engineered at Nissan's research and development centre in Bedfordshire. Trevor Mann, Nissan's senior vice-president for manufacturing in Europe, said: "Qazana points the way to securing a long and positive future for the plant."
