"A new £52m line has been unveiled at the Nissan plant in Sunderland as the firm gears up to build the new Qashqai. The £52m XL press line is part of a £400m investment in the Sunderland plant. The £400m invested for Qashqai comes on top of the £100m invested for the launch of new Juke, and is part of an overall £1bn planned investment into the plant by Nissan over five years. The new machinery was unveiled in an official ceremony, led by Nissan Chief Operating Officer Ashwani Gupta, who said the company's UK staff "continues to set the standard for productivity and quality." Good news for Sunderland and the North East " | |||

"Where's Shag and Easy when you need them to put everyone right on what Nissan's real plans are? "Understanding why something is happening is nothing to do with "doom and gloom". It means that you understand what is needed to continue success. If you think that any of this is to do with inherent British "greatness" then the outcome will be unfortunate. Why do you think JLR built a new plant in Slovakia rather than here? Ineos and Aston Martin built new UK factories as a consequence of massive government grants (putting another lie to the claims that the EU prevent us from doing such things). There is, happily, a lot of research investment in the UK currently with government funding. This is great for top end jobs and highly skilled immigrants. These do not provide large numbers of skilled manual jobs for which many people are suited. You can pretend that this indicates that everything is perfect and nothing needs to be done or you can look at the reasons behind what's going on and modify strategy accordingly. You do the former if you like. I choose the latter. | |||

As you can't bulky me, how about some of you point out what part of what I wrote you disagree with?
If you cannot then stop bitching and whining
The bit about companies not changing investment plans.... Companies do it all the time. If a capital investment no longer made good business sense at any of the capital investment stage-gates the investment would be shelved.
For example, in 2016 Nissan announced that they would be making the X-Trail in Sunderland.
3 years later Nissan said they had a change of plan and would be making it in Japan.
Same company, same initial decision, similar timescale, different investment outcome.
It's naive to think that companies don't constantly review or would not change their investment plans.
This isn't renting an office and getting some temp staff in.
As I explained. There is a certain existing capacity. Factory, trained staff, logistics network.
Nissan was going to increase capacity in the UK with the X-trail, adding jobs and expanding the factory.
Three years later with a Japanese trade deal with the EU and excess capacity in Japan they expansion in the UK was binned despite massive UK government subsidy. Much cheaper and easier to transfer production due to a particular set of circumstances.
There is no excess capacity now. As I said, short to medium term there is no choice as the carline will be built.
Long-term it will depend on government subsidy, a sensible trade deal or a gamble on getting a big chunk of the UK market in its isolation.
Nissan like all automotive companies are restructuring due to a huge drop in sales, rumours in industry papers say they are more likely to shut EU factories than the Sunderland one. GM pulled out of europe and ford may do the same if they cant see profits coming,ALL of europe is high cost compared to other parts of the world.
Very little of this has anything to do with brexit
Hard to say where Nissan is heading or where Carlos Ghosn is, but maybe the fall in the value of the pound along with the perception that our government might be more open to underwriting companies now that they are no longer part of the EU could be influencing them although the argument will be that the EU would place tariffs to counteract this support?

"A new £52m line has been unveiled at the Nissan plant in Sunderland as the firm gears up to build the new Qashqai. The £52m XL press line is part of a £400m investment in the Sunderland plant. The £400m invested for Qashqai comes on top of the £100m invested for the launch of new Juke, and is part of an overall £1bn planned investment into the plant by Nissan over five years. The new machinery was unveiled in an official ceremony, led by Nissan Chief Operating Officer Ashwani Gupta, who said the company's UK staff "continues to set the standard for productivity and quality." Good news for Sunderland and the North East
Nissan had already committed to the next Juke and Quashqai being produced in Sunderland. You do not change huge capital expenditure plans such as this. They were years in the making.
This is the money being spent. It's not new.
It's good, but it's not new.
They, like Peugeot/Vauxhall/Opel, are expecting the government to compensate them for any cost increases that they experience as a result of Brexit.
They did it before and denied it. Don't doubt that the UK taxpayer is doing the same again.

"You know what, you're right. Companies do make changes to capital expenditure and burn millions in exceptional circumstances. Of all of the the major companies Nissan is seeing the biggest problems so they are having to make the hardest decisions. The Quashqai and the Juke happen to be two of the products that are selling well and happen to have their biggest markets in the UK. The UK government also happen to be desperate to subsidise the automotive industry. There is no logic to moving production of these vehicles somewhere else as they happen to be in the right place. The FTA with the EU made Japan more attractive than the UK despite generous UK subsidies. That should tell you all that you need to know. The UK is only attractive for domestic UK sales. You can pretend that Honda's closure had nothing to do with it and you can pretend that the boss of Peugeot/Opel/Vauxhall hasn't demanded financial compensation to stay in the UK. Alternatively you can pretend that everything's OK | |||

What happened with the mining industry again?"On the other hand you could argue the Government at the time were ahead in forward thinking. EU Directive 2001/77/EC The promotion of electricity produced from renewable energy sources would have made the UK look into closing the coal mining anyway. Oh and that would have been under a Labour government.! | |||

In the US Walmart was responsible for killing off the main streets but now it’s Amazon killing of the out of town shops on top of the high street. It’s like when Tesco move into a market town. They kill the town centre and announce how many jobs they’ve brought but no mention of the shop worker jobs in the community lost. The profits go back to London and are not spent locally. Spiral is always down. Good luck to Teeside and I genuinely mean it. I hope the car jobs stay at Nissan. Those guy’s hard work is what’s kept Nissan there so far. | |||

I remember going to an engineering works in felling on a regular basis and the guys there always made me a cuppa and feel very welcome over the years. They were on an industrial estate with about eight other engineering firms.
I didn’t go for a couple of years and was passing so decided to say hello,
The factory was empty and the last of the machines was being removed. On that whole industrial estate there was only one small factory left. The only other occupant was a bargain store.
All those skilled workers turned out on their ear. I was actually shocked and so sad for the guys I’d known.
So yes rose coloured spectacles I know but the skills we keep losing will never come back. we have been shit on for decades of labour and the torys it’s a disgrace we have the shortest life expectancy in England highest death rate highest suicide rate and the least spent per capita but still the warmest most welcoming funniest ppl you will come across fuck knows how tho lol"Always look on the bright/side of life!!

"A new £52m line has been unveiled at the Nissan plant in Sunderland as the firm gears up to build the new Qashqai. The £52m XL press line is part of a £400m investment in the Sunderland plant. The £400m invested for Qashqai comes on top of the £100m invested for the launch of new Juke, and is part of an overall £1bn planned investment into the plant by Nissan over five years. The new machinery was unveiled in an official ceremony, led by Nissan Chief Operating Officer Ashwani Gupta, who said the company's UK staff "continues to set the standard for productivity and quality." Good news for Sunderland and the North East Great leaving the EU,this is why tories won so many seats up there
Yep the Tories have always had high esteem for the north east like labour when they let our steelworks close none of the party’s have done much for the north east mate
Tees Valley mayor Ben Houchen appears to be on a mission to redress this. Lots going on from investment in Teesside airport, hydrogen transport hub and Teesport, to the news another huge Amazon distribution centre coming to Wynyard, creating thousands of jobs.
I’m all for Teeside getting more employment as they deserve it after being crapped on for years. The mention of Amazon is good for them but I so wish it was better paid skilled jobs, Amazon is low skill and the more we buy off Amazon the more shop keepers are out of work and communities die.
In the US Walmart was responsible for killing off the main streets but now it’s Amazon killing of the out of town shops on top of the high street.
It’s like when Tesco move into a market town. They kill the town centre and announce how many jobs they’ve brought but no mention of the shop worker jobs in the community lost. The profits go back to London and are not spent locally. Spiral is always down.
Good luck to Teeside and I genuinely mean it. I hope the car jobs stay at Nissan. Those guy’s hard work is what’s kept Nissan there so far. thank you bud looks like Nissan are safe and I think most the jobs at Amazon are well above minimum wage judging by the amount trying to get in there

"i'll say exactly the same thing as i said in this thread 8 months ago....... actually from someone who lives up here and lives a few miles away, it always made sense to build the jukes and qashqai's here because the UK is the biggest selling markets for them.... (its like every 3 or 4 car up here is a juke or qashqai because it feels like everyone knows "someone" who works there and can get the staff discount) the issue is going to be if other none uk majority selling cars will still end up being made here... and thats what you will likely find out nearer the end of the year if the UK govt press on with basically the "no deal" narrative!" The qashqai and Juke are indeed popular in fact without them Nissan would have gone under long ago. However the amount produced at Sunderland far exceeds the UK demand. They produce for all of Europe and a bit beyond. Earlier in the year Nissan had a choice to make between closing Sunderland or a European plant. The European plant at Barcelona was chosen to close despite the previous comments from the Nissan directors just before every brexit deadline. These cars are only made at Sunderland for all of Europe, if they was to move production it would have been long before the end of this year as it takes a fortune to do and they simply cannot afford not to build these particular models | |||

"Great for the North ?? & congrats you the workers. With regard to the Amazon toilet breaks comment. I’ve been on both sides of the argument. Employ ten people & one will almost always take the piss with fag & toilet breaks. It’s not always tight fisted businesses that start this sort of ball rolling, I’ve known people sit on toilets watching football on their phones during a shift. In the end the company I worked for you had to swipe in & out of the rest rooms. They didn’t dock pay or ask if you had any problems until after a certain time limit for a shift was gone through. As another aside my worry with electric cars is long term. No one will buy them after they are five or more years old due to worries on battery failure. If this is to be resolved manufacturers need to give them 15-20yr guarantees or the prices need to be brought more in line with swapping out an engine. One of my customers has a near new Volvo XC90 T8, a £70k car which in five years will be worth £20-25k maybe? it had a recall for a new battery under warranty, the battery has a £17k rrp No one with half a brain will buy a 5-10yr old electric vehicle & If no one buys them used then just how is an electric vehicle overall better for the environment? S" The battery life has always been my concern and as you say is extremely expensive to replace. I'm glad to say the new e-power qashqai is not a full EV but more a hybrid but with the wheels being powered by the electric motor only meaning not such a large battery seen on normal EV's | |||

"With a Brexit deadline just days away, Britain's biggest car plant "will not be sustainable" if there is no deal, Nissan has warned. The company employs 7,000 workers at its Sunderland factory but said that increased tariffs would raise costs. It cautioned that any delay in overseas supplies of parts because of new customs checks could slow production. The EU has warned the UK it has less than 10 days left to secure a deal that will govern trade from next year. Nissan said there must be agreement on a free-trade deal by next week if it is to be ratified in time for the end of the Brexit transition period. "If it happens without any sustainable business case obviously it is not a question of Sunderland or not Sunderland, obviously our UK business will not be sustainable, that's it," Nissan's chief operating officer Ashwani Gupta told Reuters." Indeed and the same said before every deadline approached. Leave if the referendum vote was to leave. Leave if article 50 was implemented. Leave if the withdrawal agreement went through ect ect | |||

Also, due to the trade deal Japan signed with the EU, Nissan will no longer have to pay tariffs on cars and parts it produces in Japan and exports to Europe. | |||

"With a Brexit deadline just days away, Britain's biggest car plant "will not be sustainable" if there is no deal, Nissan has warned. The company employs 7,000 workers at its Sunderland factory but said that increased tariffs would raise costs. It cautioned that any delay in overseas supplies of parts because of new customs checks could slow production. The EU has warned the UK it has less than 10 days left to secure a deal that will govern trade from next year. Nissan said there must be agreement on a free-trade deal by next week if it is to be ratified in time for the end of the Brexit transition period. "If it happens without any sustainable business case obviously it is not a question of Sunderland or not Sunderland, obviously our UK business will not be sustainable, that's it," Nissan's chief operating officer Ashwani Gupta told Reuters. Indeed and the same said before every deadline approached. Leave if the referendum vote was to leave. Leave if article 50 was implemented. Leave if the withdrawal agreement went through ect ect I dunno, seems pretty equivocal to me. The difference is that on 1st of January 2021 things will change if there’s no deal. Nissan will start losing money and if there’s one thing that large Japanese companies with a lean philosophy are known for it’s cutting their losses. mate read the post above it’s spot on There are none so blind as those who will not see. is this the first time you have seen this with Nissan ? I’ve worked with Nissan, specifically some of the management team at Sunderland, I know how terrified they’ve been since the Brexit vote. As I said, the difference is that as of 1/1/2021 Sunderland will start losing money. The problem is they have repeated the same thing time and time again. Your correct that January is a new game but if they wanted to move the production elsewhere it would have to have started ages ago. Instead as you will know they are closing the Barcelona plant. They are, Barcelona was not financially viable so it’s gone, when Sunderland ceases to be financially viable it will go too. Nissan has three more plants in Spain and as part of the alliance with Renault is already sharing manufacturing arrangements with them.

Nissan will not close the plant overnight, it will take time for the decisions to be made about where the cars will be made but it will be stripped of its work over time. Nissan’s factories compete against each other for work and if there’s a no deal then the European plants will have a huge advantage. As their COO said, the UK business will not be sustainable. It will be run down and closed when it’s possible to do so. That the Japanese-EU trade deal doesn’t come into place immediately won’t matter, Nissan will push more work to its Egyptian plant and take advantage of the free trade agreement it has with the EU, and it won’t be too long before Renault’s Indian operation comes into play as talks are ongoing about an EU-India free trade agreement. | |||

I think you are missing the point or more likely I'm not explaining it well. The Sunderland production could have been moved to Barcelona which was cheaper than closing it. This would have made Barcelona viable again. They choose not to do that and instead increased the investment in Sunderland. The vehicles made at Sunderland are what keeps Nissan going. Basically all of Nissan is at risk if those cars don't sell. Even with the most important cars Nissan backed Sunderland as you say it's highly successful. They simply cannot wait and then act to move production as it takes time and they simply cannot afford to stop production. Nissan have also had their fingers burnt badly using other sites and keen not to have a repeat of the quality problems encountered with the micra. Personally I think they are pushing for money from the government hence the quotes which always happen just before a deadline over and over again | |||

Nissan love Sunderland, they think it's fantastic because of how it has embraced Japanese methodologies around lean etc. but they never for one second thought the UK would be foolish enough to vote for Brexit. Having been dismayed by the Brexit vote they pinned their hopes on the UK government not being stupid enough to think no deal was in any way viable, they have now realised just how far away from reality the government has travelled, and it deeply concerns them. Nissan see Brexit as a massive act of self harm, economic suicide and will no allow themselves to be dragged down with it. IF the government is prepared to make it worth their while to stay in the UK they will but if not they will look to move their production out of the UK as soon as it is viable. Given the parlous state of Nissan-Renault-Mitsubishi's finances they simply cannot afford to run a loss making operation that has no potential for turnaround through efficiciencies. I'll state it again, Nissan would prefer to keep Sunderland operating but to think it will do so if it is not financially viable is to completely misunderstand the Japanese business mindset. | |||

Thank you for confirming you understand what I'm saying. The fact you do not agree is fine. I do not agree with your take of it either but that's life. I speak to some of my colleagues in Barcelona every week and its not a happy place. They was told after the UK referendum they would get the qashqai and Juke if brexit went ahead but instead are being closed instead. Anyway looks like we have to agree to disagree but sure we can agree Sunderland is a great plant as you rightly said | |||

"Hate to say it but 7000 will be a drop in the ocean, even if another 150,000 rely on supply jobs to the factory it’ll still be insignificant in the whole scheme of things. CV19 is making Brexit & any gains/loses not insignificant but irrelevant. What was before will not be coming back & what comes in the future will not be due to Brexit, but it will be a small part of the world economic downturn. For all we know if Brexit didn’t exist Sunderland might close due to no one buying cars due to Covid etc. It’s pretty much like saying “What if Hitler won the war?” Or what if the Royalists won at Worcester? We can have an idea but we don’t actually know. CV19 has likely changed any outcome that is coming regardless of Brexit or no Brexit. S" No you can’t blame Covid for everything. Yes it will be devastating for the country when the furlough ends. But we are adding to it by restricting ease of trade to almost 50% of our economy. I think you can know the new customs costs are real and affect costs of exporting. If we don’t get a deal the tariffs are astronomical on certain things like lamb and fish. If the cars in Sunderland get tariffs added the only market they will compete in is the U.K.. for a company that’s not doing great globally that’s not good news. Fuck they need a deal. The banks funds that have moved out of the U.K. have in tax revenue alone exceeded the cost of membership payments to the EU. So I suspect that it’s going to be negative is pretty much a given.that’s not taking into account the costs so far of this mess. Has anyone noticed the financial outlook report in relation to Brexit hasn’t been released lately by the government? That’s because without a deal it’s probably a pretty horrific read. If all goes well and Brexit is a success then in 20 years we may be back to economic success levels of 2016 so that’s good eh.. so again in 20:years our kids will be looking at what we’ve done and say WTF! Rant away with your petty arguments I don’t care as it’s too late now. If we don’t get a deal you will, reap the wind. If we do and I do think it’s close it will be a fudge and just add to why this has all been such a pointless waste of time. We can’t survive without trade into Europe whatever your dreams of America first. The truth hurts but we don’t hold all the cards despite what you’ve been told or will be told over the deal. 
We will survive but I’m sure will be poorer. I hope I’m wrong in all honesty.
COVID has just shown how incompetent we are lead. Cummins may have been right when he said how shit this country in a managed. I don’t agree with his low regulation low wage solution though. Covid’s shadow will last for a few years but be gone soon enough.
The rest is down to us. All of us.
Even though I believe Brexit is nuts I will still work hard to make money and pay tax and do my bit. And we will all have to work even harder. I’m British and proud but just lately I’m embarrassed by the decisions and direction we have taken. I still won’t turn my back on this fucked up little island. Good luck everyone . | |||

The banks funds that have moved out of the U.K. have in tax revenue alone exceeded the cost of membership payments to the EU. So I suspect that it’s going to be negative is pretty much a given.that’s not taking into account the costs so far of this mess. Has anyone noticed the financial outlook report in relation to Brexit hasn’t been released lately by the government? That’s because without a deal it’s probably a pretty horrific read. If all goes well and Brexit is a success then in 20 years we may be back to economic success levels of 2016 so that’s good eh.. so again in 20:years our kids will be looking at what we’ve done and say WTF! Rant away with your petty arguments I don’t care as it’s too late now. If we don’t get a deal you will, reap the wind. If we do and I do think it’s close it will be a fudge and just add to why this has all been such a pointless waste of time. We can’t survive without trade into Europe whatever your dreams of America first. The truth hurts but we don’t hold all the cards despite what you’ve been told or will be told over the deal.
We will survive but I’m sure will be poorer. I hope I’m wrong in all honesty.
COVID has just shown how incompetent we are lead. Cummins may have been right when he said how shit this country in a managed. I don’t agree with his low regulation low wage solution though. Covid’s shadow will last for a few years but be gone soon enough.
The rest is down to us. All of us.
Even though I believe Brexit is nuts I will still work hard to make money and pay tax and do my bit. And we will all have to work even harder. I’m British and proud but just lately I’m embarrassed by the decisions and direction we have taken. I still won’t turn my back on this fucked up little island. Good luck everyone . "I assume you are directing that at another poster as I have not mentioned covid. I just mentioned the facts as they are on the ground presently as I have a window into the area. Covid will certainly make it harder to see the effects of brexit especially a no deal but covid won't last forever (hopefully) it does muddy the waters. Even before covid struck Nissan knew the options were down to either a hard brexit or even harder no deal brexit (soft brexit was of the cards with the withdrawal agreement) and choose to shut Barcelona and invest in Sunderland. Like everyone we can't predict the future and just do our best. Good to hear your pressing on and doing what you can | |||

"From electrive.com "As the no-deal Brexit is looming large, Nissan decided against assigning the Sunderland plant to make the new Ariya model. All hopes to increase if not secure production in Britain with the new electric car are dashed as the company appears to have changed plans. When Nissan presented the Ariya this summer, they had still wanted to manufacture the European allocation in the UK. Now it looks like Nissan has decided against strengthening its foothold on the Isles. Nikkei states the hard Brexit, meaning the UK leaving the European Union with no trade agreement at the end of the month as the reason for the withdrawal. The company has not confirmed this line of thought. Nissan will, however, produce the Ariya in Japan for export to Europe when the vehicle goes on sale next year and executives said, this had always been an option, according to Autonews. The same could be said of persisting pressures on UK car manufacturing due to the Brexit situation. A no-deal Brexit will see British car exports face a ten-percent tariff in the EU. It would increase the cost of UK-made electric cars exported to the EU by an average of £2,000 per vehicle, according to a study conducted by SMMT. By comparison, vehicles made in Japan face a lower 7.5 per cent tariff which, in 2026, will be abolished entirely. Japan’s EPA with Britain takes effect next month and will similarly cancel the auto-tariff as the Japan-EU trade deal. Handling production of Ariya models heading to Europe and the United States will be Nissan’s plant in Japan’s Tochigi Prefecture just north of Tokyo. Meanwhile, Nissan will manufacture those sold in China locally. The decision is a blow for Sunderland. The plant has been making the Nissan Leaf EV since 2013 and continues to produce the new model-year of the Leaf. The Ariya, however, is the first electric car Nissan designed from the ground-up since introducing the Leaf almost ten years ago. It sits on a new platform that the company considers as laying grounds for the entire group and future EVs. Carmakers with a large UK presence such as Nissan or BMW have repeatedly made it clear that continued frictionless trade with the EU would be a vital consideration in determining if they stay in the country when Brexit happens. Rumours had it more than once that Nissan was to close Sunderland entirely with the company yet having to make an official statement confirming a direction. While the Ariya won’t be made there, Nissan did confirm the Qashqai for production in Sunderland. The compact SUV will be the first Nissan model in Europe to be equipped with the e-Power hybrid drive but a plug-in hybrid is not planned for the time being as reported. The model will also be the first European Nissan sitting on the CMF-C platform from the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance. Nissan Sunderland’s plant profitability is heavily based on exports to the EU. More than 50% of the cars made there are sold in the rest of Europe, DW writes, underlining why the company is so keen for tariff-free trade to continue. Nissan’s Chief Operating Officer Ashwani Gupta has said that Brexit-induced tariffs could render the company’s UK business and Sunderland plant unsustainable. The factory is the largest car plant in the UK and produces around 350,000 cars a year."" The Ariya was not planned to be built at Sunderland so its not a change. The EU deal with japan now enables Nissan to build it in Japan and export to europe. Barcelona plant could have built this new vehicle but is being closed instead | |||

"From electrive.com "As the no-deal Brexit is looming large, Nissan decided against assigning the Sunderland plant to make the new Ariya model. All hopes to increase if not secure production in Britain with the new electric car are dashed as the company appears to have changed plans. When Nissan presented the Ariya this summer, they had still wanted to manufacture the European allocation in the UK. Now it looks like Nissan has decided against strengthening its foothold on the Isles. Nikkei states the hard Brexit, meaning the UK leaving the European Union with no trade agreement at the end of the month as the reason for the withdrawal. The company has not confirmed this line of thought. Nissan will, however, produce the Ariya in Japan for export to Europe when the vehicle goes on sale next year and executives said, this had always been an option, according to Autonews. The same could be said of persisting pressures on UK car manufacturing due to the Brexit situation. A no-deal Brexit will see British car exports face a ten-percent tariff in the EU. It would increase the cost of UK-made electric cars exported to the EU by an average of £2,000 per vehicle, according to a study conducted by SMMT. By comparison, vehicles made in Japan face a lower 7.5 per cent tariff which, in 2026, will be abolished entirely. Japan’s EPA with Britain takes effect next month and will similarly cancel the auto-tariff as the Japan-EU trade deal. Handling production of Ariya models heading to Europe and the United States will be Nissan’s plant in Japan’s Tochigi Prefecture just north of Tokyo. Meanwhile, Nissan will manufacture those sold in China locally. The decision is a blow for Sunderland. The plant has been making the Nissan Leaf EV since 2013 and continues to produce the new model-year of the Leaf. The Ariya, however, is the first electric car Nissan designed from the ground-up since introducing the Leaf almost ten years ago. It sits on a new platform that the company considers as laying grounds for the entire group and future EVs. Carmakers with a large UK presence such as Nissan or BMW have repeatedly made it clear that continued frictionless trade with the EU would be a vital consideration in determining if they stay in the country when Brexit happens. Rumours had it more than once that Nissan was to close Sunderland entirely with the company yet having to make an official statement confirming a direction. While the Ariya won’t be made there, Nissan did confirm the Qashqai for production in Sunderland. The compact SUV will be the first Nissan model in Europe to be equipped with the e-Power hybrid drive but a plug-in hybrid is not planned for the time being as reported. The model will also be the first European Nissan sitting on the CMF-C platform from the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance. Nissan Sunderland’s plant profitability is heavily based on exports to the EU. More than 50% of the cars made there are sold in the rest of Europe, DW writes, underlining why the company is so keen for tariff-free trade to continue. Nissan’s Chief Operating Officer Ashwani Gupta has said that Brexit-induced tariffs could render the company’s UK business and Sunderland plant unsustainable. The factory is the largest car plant in the UK and produces around 350,000 cars a year." The Ariya was not planned to be built at Sunderland so its not a change.

Barcelona was closed because they were running at a fraction of their actual capacity due to poor sales of the vehicles they built. They are a highly skilled workforce and great fun. The obvious option would have been to move the Qashqai and Juke to barcelona at least. These are Nissans top selling cars and they rely on them to survive. They choose to keep these at sunderland and close barca instead | |||
