Wrong, production won't be moved to Japan. Production is already happening in Japan. Nissan isn't investing in expanding production there, there's no new factory in Japan, they're able to cope with their pre-existing infrastructure which shows that the new investment they were planning is redundant as I said. If they were investing in a new or expanded plant in Japan you'd have a point.Translation: They're cutting investment globally because they don't need it. Now is not the time to invest in diesel.The firm's Europe chairman, Gianluca de Ficchy, said: "Nissan is investing heavily in new technologies and powertrains for the next generation of vehicles in our Sunderland plant.
"To support this, we are taking advantage of our global assets, and with X-Trail already manufactured in Japan, we can reduce our upfront investment costs."
Worth noting that there's multiple lines they're involved with in Sunderland and that no job losses have been announced at all. They're continuing with lines with a future like the Leaf and Qashqai. This is a diesel issue not a Brexit issue, VW and the following diesel scandals have killed this model not Brexit.
