Nissan boss says Brexit is 'positive' - and claims new trade deal gives carmaker a 'competitive advantage'

The move is partly defensive, avoiding tariffs that would apply to European exports under complex rules-of-origin regulations if batteries were sourced from third countries.

"Brexit for Nissan is positive, and being the largest automaker in the UK, we will take this opportunity to redefine the industry here," Mr Gupta said. "We were prepared for it, we had upgraded our software and our processes, it's okay. Of course when you bring a change you need to have agility, to adapt to the new change - that's the beauty of the organisation."Mr Gupta said he believed the UK ban on new internal combustion engine vehicles from 2030 means consumers will begin choosing electric models from around 2024 onwards, and that Nissan will capitalise.

"Of course it's too early to say but all the statistics that we are now studying gives us the indication that we will have the competitive advantage.

DontDareSay False news. They’re leaving. Alistair Campbell & Femi told us this ages ago. BrexitReality

Great news!!!!😊😊😊

Any comments Femi_Sorry Or will you continue to spout out utter 💩all the time .

Great news for the Automotive industry

Alastair Campbell and his FBPE nut job friends are going to have a heart attack reading this.

Unlike 2016, Nissan said ' if there is a vote to leave we will have to consider relocating to the EU' It was bullshit and always was Britain will thrive outside and the EU will wilt without our money.

Have the Sunderland Labour MPs said anything positive about this news yet? They were certain Nisan would leave Sunderland if Brexit went ahead.

And what about the £80 million govt sweetener?

Lol thought they were crying along with all the other snowflakes about it all

Paid to say this

Way too positive for SKY.

Remainers will be frothing
