Impact of the new corona Nissan Late payments to parts manufacturers in the UK April 2: 4:17

Due to the spread of the new coronavirus, it has become clear that Nissan Motor has delayed payments to parts manufacturers such as the United Kingdom. Nissan explains that this is due to confusion in accounting procedures.

Although Nissan has a car production base in the United Kingdom, the British television station Sky News has reported that Nissan has notified local parts makers that payments will be delayed due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection.

Nissan acknowledged that there was a delay in paying for NHK coverage on the 1st, and explained that the reason was due to confusion in accounting procedures between inside and outside the company.

He added that more than 95% of component manufacturers had paid by 31st of last month, and that they would pay the remaining manufacturers as soon as possible.

Nissan commented, "I am sorry that the confusion has occurred and I am grateful for the support and understanding of the parts manufacturers."

In Europe, Nissan and other automakers have faced a situation where most production has been discontinued since the second half of last month.

The UK Automobile Manufacturers Association is deeply concerned about the ongoing shutdown, and argues that it is important to ensure that the entire industry, including its component manufacturers, does not have to wait for cash.
