<p>The Intercity Express Programme (IEP) trains will be assembled at Hitachi’s newly
built manufacturing plant at Newton Aycliffe, County Durham – creating around 730
permanent jobs in addition to jobs during the construction phase. Further jobs are
being created in the construction phase of new and refurbished depots in support of
the IEP. In addition, Hitachi Rail Europe also expects to grow its total UK staff
from 200 to 1,800 within three years. Hitachi also expects to create hundreds more
jobs in the UK manufacturing sector and wider transport supply chain as a result of
IEP. Hitachi has already awarded 32 contracts to UK-based companies in relation to
IEP.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
