No-deal Brexit would prompt Nissan to review Sunderland-Qashqai decision: FT

[October 01, 2019]  LONDON (Reuters) - Japanese carmaker Nissan <7201.T> will review its decision to build the Qashqai sport utility vehicle at its Sunderland plant in northern England if Britain leaves the EU without a deal, the Financial Times reported, citing three sources.

The FT said a disorderly Brexit where Britain leaves the European Union without a deal could prompt the eventual closure of the site.

The FT also quoted a company statement as saying Nissan urged negotiators on both sides to work to secure a deal, and that its plans for Qashqai production in Sunderland have not changed.
