Nissan has recommitted to selling only zero-emission electric cars by 2030 in Britain and Europe despite a volatile sales market in which the growth in registrations of battery vehicles has caused leading rivals to rein back on their pledges.

The Japanese company said it is also on track for a £3 billion redevelopment of its plant in Sunderland, to construct a third battery-producing gigafactory on the site, and by 2030 to be assembling the next generation of its pioneering Nissan Leaf all-electric car and zero-emission versions of its

and Juke models.

Executives from the company renewed their decarbonisation pledges as they unveiled plans for each of its electric cars to become “mobile energy units” by 2030 with the capability to use their batteries to power homes. In what Nissan sees as a key differentiator between it and other carmakers, its groundbreaking, proprietary V2X technology will allow electric car batteries to be powered up during the cheap electricity night-time hours and exported back into the home via a bi-directional cable and smartbox when energy is more expensive during the day.

At a technology event at the company’s technical centre at Cranfield University, David Moss, Nissan’s European research and development chief, said of the company’s electric ambitions: “Nothing has changed. The industry is going through a challenging time and we are very aware of what is happening in the market but the direction of travel is clear.”

I served my apprenticeship there and got the best training anyone could wish for. Set me up for life, don’t have a bad word to say about the place. High expectations but high rewards in return.
Full of entitled moaning fannies now.

Is it normal for Nissan staff on different lines to be at each others throats ?

Anyhow hope jobs are secure etc going forward

They do. Don't even sound like banter.

Regardless of what line you’re on. All still wear the same uniform. If the place struggles we all struggle regardless of line 1 or 2. Shouldn’t be buzzing that line 1 are dropping line speed, if people had any brain cells they’d be concerned

Reading the thread it does seem very strange there’s animosity between lines.
Has Nissan developed a competitive environment to push output ?

Don’t think I could handle the serious/heartbreak episode where one line gets finished early on a Friday back shift and the other doesn’t

I thought it was EV's that nobody wanted.

Worked for nissan way back during the cred crunch. We had to pay stand downs back and some hours were wiped off others. When we took the stand downs we knew the crack. If others got off with theirs i didnt really look at it in a bitter light. Them having or not having to do them made no difference to me really, they just got lucky. Watching them sit with a -100 hour balance whilst the future of staff is in doubt isnt something i would take pleasure in. Just my view from having been there before

Going in the sick, feining injury, pretending your on weekends away etc etc isn’t getting lucky this tends to be how the people with remaining hours got away with it, it’s nothing to be proud of the honest grafters paid theirs back ages ago these are the lads the foundations of the company was built on , the new breed seem to think it’s clever that they have dodged it then complain when jobs are at risk and can’t get permanent contracts etc the same lads that like the money but don’t like working for it

 

[KathyBatesHammer]

Bullshit how line 2 haven’t even paid hardly any back some lads still owe 180 hours and gonna get wiped off it’s bullshit take about equality and that ! Paid all mine back and haven’t worked overtime since so was absolutely no point made no extra money

All Nissan employees are angry bitter people like.

Its all the drugs.

How long have you worked there ?

 

[TDalt]

They’ve been finding loads of used condoms done by the toilets next to the main office apparently, investigating it

 

[legend73]

What has how long you have worked there got anything to do with anything? You don’t even have to work there to realise how badly the company are doing at present.
