Nissan “It is difficult to continue business” due to UK withdrawal without agreement 7:07 on Oct. 11
On the 10th, three weeks after leaving the EU = European Union, Nissan released a British factory to the press and complained that it would be difficult to continue business here if it left without agreement.
On the 10th, Nissan opened a factory in northern Sunderland to the press. The car factory, which has about 6,000 workers, produced the largest scale in the UK last year with 440,000 units. In addition to producing the main SUVs = multi-purpose sports cars and electric cars, we are also starting to assemble new models.
Since 70% of the cars produced here are exported to the EU, Nissan complains that if the EU withdrawal at the end of this month becomes a “no-agreement leaving without agreement”, it will be hit hard.
“The company wants to continue its business here, but it suddenly incurs a 10% tariff on cars exported to the EU,” said Genreka de Fissi, managing director of Europe, head of Europe. If this happens, the business environment will be threatened and it will be difficult to sustain for the future. ”
While the future of leaving the EU is still undecided, the British auto industry is increasingly wary of leaving without agreement.
As a countermeasure, Jaguar Land Rover and Toyota Motor Corporation have decided to temporarily stop the operation of the factory immediately after leaving.
