About Tyne and Wear 

Tyne and Wear is a county on the North East coast of England and is known for being home to the cities of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Sunderland. Although traditionally a ship building city Sunderland is now home to the Nissan car factory which opened in 1986 and helped to improve the falling economic situation in the city, now employing around 6,000 people. The cars that have been produced in the UK Nissan factory include the popular Nissan Micra, Qashqai and more recently the Nissan Leaf. 

According to the 2011 Census there were over 436,000 cars or vans owned by households in the metropolitan county of Tyne and Wear. With many cars on the road the demand for car parts to keep these vehicles maintained is high. Main roads in the area include the A194(M), the A1, A69, and A19, which aid connections with the rest of the country and ensure the swift delivery of car parts. 

In Tyne and Wear there is a Traffic and Accident Data Unit (TADU) which plays a key role in supporting the transport solutions and economic development across the county. TADU manages the data from road traffic accidents and traffic flow in Tyne and Wear from a network of automatic traffic count sites, databases from the fire and rescue services, the police and the local councils. According to TADU there were a total of 2,356 collisions in the Tyne and Wear area in 2013. Accidents increase the demand for car parts to enable accident repairs. 

If classic cars are your passion the Sunderland & District Classic Vehicle Society hosts a number of events throughout the year, or if American cars rock your world the Fins & Chrome show could be perfect for you.
