Nissan to cancel UK X-Trail manufacture plans - Sky News

LONDON, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Japanese carmaker Nissan will announce on Monday that it is cancelling plans announced in 2016 to manufacture a new model of its X-Trail compact SUV in Britain, broadcaster Sky News said on Saturday (Shenzhen: 002291.SZ - news) .

"Precise (Shenzhen: 300442.SZ - news) details of Nissan's impending announcement were unclear this weekend, but sources said it was likely to initially involve abandoning the X-Trail production plans which had been announced in the autumn of 2016," Sky (Frankfurt: 893517 - news) reported.

Nissan announced in October 2016 that it would build its next generation Qashqai sports utility vehicle and a new X-Trail model in Britain after receiving government assurances over Brexit, in what was seen at the time as a major boost for Prime Minister Theresa May.
