Sunderland gets what it voted for...

[ellal]

Nissan is expected to announce that it is cancelling a planned investment at its plant in Sunderland.

"In 2016 the car maker said it would build the X-Trail SUV in Sunderland after receiving "assurances" from the government over Brexit...

Labour Sunderland Central MP Julie Elliott suggested there was an "inevitable role that Brexit plays here.... None of it is conductive to encouraging business investment in this country"."

So the 'assurances' (bribes) of government weren't enough!

Funny how 'Project Fear' is slowly being shown to be 'Project Reality'...

No doubt quitters will say that it's all the fault of the EU, and that the 'pain is worth it'...

I wonder what the voters in Sunderland will be thinking in a few years time?

More to do with the fact that car sales are down globally.

Car manufacturers have been looking at China to generate growth but there is the start of a slump in China.

Do keep up old bean

I expect voters in Sunderland will thinking Ellal hasn't a scooby as usual

I checked, and found Leave.EU's assurance that nothing could be further from the truth. The S*n told us that Nissan would be investing in the new car plant.

So either Nissan are lying, or Leave.EU and the S*n.

Which is more likely?

Where do I collect my no-deal unicorn?

So are you suggesting that Nissan won't build that new model at all?

The X-trail is currently made in Japan. It was a great car until they started putting Renault parts in it.

The FT says so:



While Britain’s impending exit from the EU has caused uncertainty for the Sunderland plant, which exports roughly half its cars, the decline of diesel across the continent was a more significant factor, according to people familiar with the company’s thinking.

The X-Trail is a large sport utility vehicle, the biggest passenger vehicle made by the Japanese group, and it had planned to make diesel models in the UK. However, the company struggled to make the new diesel cars compliant with the latest emission rules using diesel engines that it buys from Renault, according to one person, and fears of an accelerating decline of the fuel source among the public coloured its decision.

Nissan has already pledged to eliminate diesel from its line-up, saying it would not launch another new diesel car after 2021, one of several manufacturers including Toyota, Volvo and Fiat Chrysler planning to phase out the technology. To make petrol versions of the X-Trail in the UK would require shipping engines from Japan, something the business considered commercially unviable, according to one person.

Nissan laid off hundreds of workers from the site last year because of the decline in diesel, something that has hit the Japanese group harder than almost any other major nameplate in Europe. Nissan’s sales in Europe fell by 14 per cent last year to 473,810 vehicles, putting it below the Kia, Citroën and Dacia brands.

Output from Sunderland last year fell 10 per cent to 442,254. The decision will not see any more roles lost from the UK site, which employs around 7,000 people, but the company will no longer hire additional workers to make the new vehicle

So its all to do with declining sales and decline in diesel. Nowt to do with Brexit

I see Italy is about to go into recession is the Euro about to tank
