Faced with declining sales and pressured margins, Nissan is relying on the EV36Zero plan to make a comeback.
Nissan is facing a challenging period in the automotive market, with stagnating electric vehicle sales and reduced margins. To reverse this trend, the Japanese manufacturer is betting on EV36Zero, its strategic plan dedicated to electrification, battery production, and renewable energy. The launch of the new Nissan LEAF at the Sunderland plant is a concrete illustration of this industrial transformation.
With an investment of £450 million, or half a billion euros, Nissan has modernized its British factory to produce the third generation of the LEAF on line number 2. Nearby, the AESC gigafactory provides next-generation batteries, ensuring range and performance for Nissan’s electric vehicles. EV36Zero is built on three pillars: electric vehicle production, battery manufacturing, and renewable energy, creating a sustainable and competitive industrial hub.
Nissan is already preparing for tomorrow
The transformation of the Sunderland factory includes 78 high-tech robots for the bodywork, automated systems for parts delivery, and the quick and precise integration of batteries. More than 360,000 hours of training have been dedicated to the 6,000 employees, ensuring quality and mastery of new technologies. The new LEAF, in the Aoba Blue Evolve version, offers up to 622 km of range (WLTP) and fast charging of 150 kW, while providing a connected cockpit and digital services via NissanConnect.
