Nissan confirmed it will help manufacture thousands of protective aprons for NHS workers. A team of staff volunteers at the plant took just eight days to design and build a process onsite to manufacture the plastic aprons. Initial capacity is 18,000 a week but the team has plans to increase this to over 70,000 within weeks.

Nissan also united its UK dealer network to provide more than 100 cars for free-ofcharge use by NHS workers. More than 30 dealer sites, those still able to operate, are taking part in the initiative that has been coordinated by Nissan GB to support frontline health workers with personal mobility should their normal mode of transport currently be compromised during the Covid-19 crisis. The vehicles allocated for the initiative include Micra, Juke, Qashqai and all-electric Leaf.
