This news seems to be all over, was posted earlier in the USA by CNN and Bloomberg. Whatever the reason Nissan Internal Politics, Diesels or the Brexit to me this a disaster following up all the other UK Auto Industry Problems - Dave
Lets just hope that this comment is fact for the sake of the Workers ! :
“The company has confirmed that no jobs will be lost. They have reiterated today their commitment to the UK by continuing to manufacture in Sunderland the current Qashqai, Leaf and Juke models and the new Qashqai model from 2020."

"While we have taken this decision for business reasons, the continued uncertainty around the UK's future relationship with the EU is not helping companies like ours to plan for the future."

From the Sunderland Echo "Nissan's decision not build its new X-Trail car in Sunderland means that 741 additional jobs will no longer be created, Business Secretary Greg Clark has said.
The news comes on the same day that it emerged the Government offered Nissan support of up to £80million if the Japanese firm built new models at its Wearside plant."
