Nine companies around the North have won backing from the Drive35 programme
Northern companies have shown how the region is playing a major role in the switch to electric vehicles after securing Government backing for their work.
Nine companies around the region – including the giant Nissan plant at Sunderland – have won backing from the Government’s £4bn Drive35 programme, which is intended to speed up the electrification of the car industry. Officials at the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade said the funding would support hundreds of jobs.
