Propaganda Fletch, I’m not aware Nissan Sunderland was ever going to do this.
I’m assuming Nissan will want to turn the production taps back on ASAP, so unable to allocate space and commitment to another production process.

In an ideal world your totally correct.

Who's gonna buy the cars, even when the lockdown is over? Things are going to be different to the way they were before. Its a worry.

How does a car company make a ventilator?

The government wants an army of manufacturers to assemble thousands of ventilators in the war against the coronavirus. But you can't just swap cars for medical devices
