Nissan axes 250 jobs at major UK car plant | UK | News
Hundreds of workers Nissan’s Sunderland Factory Car giant falling electric vehicle (home) demand and rolling snow while fighting is preparing to lose their jobs.
As part of a voluntary surplus plan, the Japanese automobile manufacturer confirmed that it would cut approximately 250 work in the North East factory equivalent to four percent of the 6,000 -person labor force.
Nissan said that business losses will affect office personnel and workshop supervisors and will get rid of the production line workers.
It is a blow to the UK’s largest automobile factory, an important player in the UK’s automotive industry since it was opened in 1986. Today, Nissan continues to be the only production area in Europe and the largest employer in Sunderland.
The company is part of a major cost -lowering driving, since the company tries to return 400 billion ¥ (£ 2 billion) after a ruthless year, seeing electric vehicle sales in Europe.
Nissan, by 2030 to remove the gasoline and diesel models gradually, Sunderland site for the production of electric cars for the production of 2 billion pounds, including a large investment, including a leading home manufacturer pumps billions of pumps.
But gambling began to hang out. The interest in EVS did not keep up with the expectations by multiplying Nissan’s profitability. In China, weak demand, pricing wars in the US and rising costs for energy and labor have made more profit.
It resulted in a destructive financial result – 88 percent of snowfall and the company’s worst performance in the quarter century for the entire year 2025.
In contrast, Nissan summarized its restructuring plans, including approximately 20,000 jobs from 133,500 global labor.
A Nissan spokesman said: “This week, with some of our team in Sunderland, we are starting to discuss the opportunity to voluntarily leave Nissan with the support of the company.”
The movement comes as another print in the midst of the difficult stabilization action between traditional car manufacturers and future investment and short -term survival in the midst of the movement of electricity.
