Nissan says it could share global plants with Chinese state firm Dongfeng

Abstract:Nissan announced this week that it would lay off another 11,000 workers and shut seven factories

Nissan employs around 6,000 people in Sunderland

Car maker Nissan says it is open to sharing factories around the world with its Chinese-owned partner Dongfeng as it shakes up its business.

The Japanese firm, which employs thousands of people in the UK, told the BBC it could bring Dongfeng into the Nissan production eco-system globally.

This week, the struggling company said it would lay off 11,000 workers and shut seven factories but did not say where the cuts would be made.

Speaking about Nissan‘s UK plant on Thursday at a conference organised by the Financial Times, its new boss Ivan Espinosa said: We have announced that we are launching new cars in Sunderland... In the very short term, there’s no intention to go around Sunderland.

Nissans latest job cuts came on top of 9,000 layoffs announced in November as it faces weak sales in key markets such as the US and China.

The total cuts will hit 15% of its workforce as part of a cost saving effort that it said would reduce its global production by a fifth.

Nissan‘s own brands have struggled to make in-roads to China, which is the world’s biggest car market, as stiff competition has led to falling prices.

It has partnered with Beijing-controlled Dongfeng for over 20 years and they currently work together to build cars in the Chinese city of Wuhan.

Nissan employs around 133,500 people globally, with about 6,000 workers in Sunderland.

The firm has also faced a number of leadership changes and failed merger talks with its larger rival Honda.

Negotiations between the two collapsed in February after the firms were unable to agree on a multi-billion-dollar tie-up.

After the failure of the talks, then-chief executive Makoto Uchida was replaced by Mr Espinosa, who was the companys chief planning officer and head of its motorsports division.

This week, Nissan also reported an annual loss of 670 billion yen ($4.6bn; £3.4bn), with US President Donald Trumps tariffs putting further pressure on the struggling firm.

This month, Nissans battery partner AESC secured a £1bn ($1.3bn) funding package from the UK government for a new plant in Sunderland.

It will produce batteries for the Juke and Leaf electric models.

Visiting the site, Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves said the move would deliver much-needed high-quality, well-paid jobs to the North East.
