Nissan still the largest car maker in UK
Nissan has retained its position as the largest UK car-maker. In 2009 the company's Sunderland plant turned out a third of all the cars produced in the UK, or 338,150 units out of a total 999,460; Sunderland has held the top spot among Britain's car factories since 1998 and currently produces the Qashqai, Micra and Note models.
Total car production in the UK fell heavily last year compared with an already weak 2008, when 1,446,619 cars were made here.
