Japanese automaker Nissan's UK operations are facing a significant blow as a report reveals the company's unit has scrapped plans to manufacture electric vehicle (EV) powertrains at its Sunderland plant. The decision is a major setback for the UK's automotive sector, which has been heavily investing in EV production to meet the country's net-zero emissions targets. According to sources, the cancellation of the EV powertrain project is due to rising production costs and increased competition from other European manufacturers. The news is likely to raise concerns about the future of Nissan's UK operations and the impact on the local workforce.
