It's excellent news if it's true, there's far too much free capacity so it does make sense but how reliable is the source?

Nissan in talks to build Renault models at Sunderland plant

Global overhaul set to include closure of Barcelona plant and 20% cut in production capacity

Nissan is in talks to shift production of two Renault models from Spain to its Sunderland plant, securing thousands of British manufacturing jobs and signalling the Japanese carmaker’s long-term commitment to the UK’s largest car factory. The Japanese and French groups are discussing moving production of the Renault Kadjar and Captur models as part of a global overhaul of operations to be announced this month, according to two people familiar with the talks. The future of Sunderland had been thrown into doubt following Britain's vote to leave the EU, with Nissan warning that tariffs with Europe would put the model of exporting from the UK “in jeopardy”. The Japanese carmaker is preparing to cut a fifth of its global production capacity and reshuffle its manufacturing operations to stem a profit drain that has been accelerated by the coronavirus crisis, according to three people familiar with the matter. Nissan and Renault declined to comment.

Nissan specifically said they would relocate to the UK instead of the EU if tariffs were imposed, so I'm wondering where you actually read it.

The Remoaners on here never stopped goading people on here about Nissan leaving due to Brexit. Another Remain lie/threat that got out of control.

Its the van section of Nissan they are closing because they don't sell enough in Europe. that's a decent business decision.

I was joking mate. A MATE was one of the buyers there for a while. It was the Barthalona instead of Barthelona.

Yes but I'm privy to what has happened and what is happening. I don't really care if you are sick of hearing it. It's a fact.
