Jaguar Land Rover are to move production of the Discovery to Slovakia, an EU member state with lower wages than the UK... brexit related? Jobs will be lost.Is this the way that most of the car industry will end up? |

Money related in the same way that Audi build the TT in Hungary. Probably getting an incentive from the Slovakian govt . Hyundai have a factory there and a KIA one close by but over the border in the Czech Republic as they got an incentive from both countries. |

"It's being moved so the Solihull factory can build the new Range Rover."
The Range Rover is already built there though, and the company has said there will be job losses. Not much of a consolation there... |

I’ve been to the site. 25%of Slovakia’s GDP is based on building cars. Peugeot, Skoda and others are there already. One of the issues they will have however is that they don’t have enough workers living near the factory. It’s originally farmland and they can’t get enough workers for the existing factories.
It’s a bloody big plant. |

Purely down to economics - nothing to do with Brexit. Same as, once, South Wales had lots of factories, because it was cheap labour. This us no longer the case compared to other countries. It's all about production/manufacturing costs. Same as people rush to Premark but ignore the garments journey.... |

Yes, all to avoid those pesky EU import tariffs and restrictions... What happens when those restrictions and tariffs are applied to the vehicles built in this soon to be non EU nation? |

Manufacturing has always moved around to suit employee wages and national tax breaks.
Bugger all to do with Brexit. Simple business economics.
It's always been the same, everyone does it. |

We make far more cars in the UK than we did during the heyday of Longbridge and Dagenham.
I’ve been in most of the car factories in the UK, in fact I was in Jaguar at Castle Bromwich earlier this year, (they made spitfires and Lancaster bombers there in the war) and had a presentation from Land Rovers head of design , very interesting it was too.
Wales had factories due to huge government subsidies which we had to stop when the EU made it illegal, however it’s not stopped many of the other countries doing it , that’s why many moved out. |
