A SUBSIDIARY of the country's biggest car manufacturer has sold its millionth vehicle since taking over sales and distribution of the cars ten years ago.
Nissan Motor (GB) is the biggest customer of Nissan's Sunderland plant and will take around 90,000 of the 300,000 Micras, Almeras and Primeras that will be built in the North-East this year.
The Sunderland plant has recently been given the accolade of Europe's most productive car plant for the sixth year running, with an average of 95 cars built per employee.
Most popular of all of the models sold by Nissan Motor (GB) have been the UK manufactured Primera and Micra, both of which have been manufactured at the Sunderland plant. These two models alone are responsible for two-thirds of the company's sales tally.
The company has also been steadily growing its 4x4 business with 44,000 Terranos, Patrols, Pickups and more recently, X-Trails sold in its ten year history.
The company is celebrating its millionth sale with a special offer of zero per cent finance (with 40 per cent deposit) on any Primera bought before the end of September.
