Car manufacturer Nissan has unveiled details of its new Leaf electric vehicle, which is set to be built at its UK factory.
The third-generation model will be built at its Sunderland plant by its 6,000-strong team, the Japanese carmaker said.
The new Leaf will be able to travel up to 375 miles (604km) on a single charge and will be available for customers to order later this year, Nissan said.
It will be powered by batteries from AESC UK, Nissan's battery partner, which is based next to the Wearside factory.
