Gel, thanks for this information which in my eyes is a disaster for the UK and the Nissan Work Force if it is true and it seems to be getting worse.
I do not know why but I cannot open your Sky Info‘ so I had to look elsewhere - Dave

Our local press saying no change to workforce numbers. Mentions more than 10% reduction in sales and also mentions union not happy because of a forthcoming pay rise negotiation. The diesel engine situation has had a massive effect on sales worldwide.

There seems to be confusion in the press here.
Some are reporting that production is being cancelled on Monday - but others are reporting that the cancellation of the proposed next-generation X-Trail will be announced on Monday. Completely different things!
Hence no immediate job losses since production of the existing X-Trail continues - in Japan only!

Gvmdaddy, what the hell does sky.news do as virtually every news story from the world mentions „according to Sky News” as if it is an online news feeder. Lets hope it is wrong as this would be no basic error but a disaster - Dave

Not a disaster even if you work there - assuming other models are kept in production.

The present X Trail is made in Japan. I had a look at sales figures on carsalesbase.com and Nov. 2018 was the lowest sales over the last 4 years at 2174 so they have really taken a dive from 11330 in Mar 2017. I don't think they are as good looking as the latest QQ so there new model, if it does ever go into production, will need to be something better.

Well it's been confirmed.

"Sunderland Central MP Julie Elliott said the move was "devastating news for our city and the region"."
No it isn't - it's business as usual!
"Conservative Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg said Nissan had "all sorts of problems that are nothing to do with Brexit", including "very considerable corporate governance problems" arising from ex-chairman Carlos Ghosn's arrest."
Precisely - though I don't often agree with him!
