Nissan is restructuring its European operations by eliminating 900 jobs and consolidating production into its Sunderland, UK plant. The automaker will merge two assembly lines into one while making most changes across Europe rather than cutting production jobs at Sunderland. The move supports Nissan’s RE:Nissan recovery strategy aimed at reducing surplus capacity, boosting flexibility, and responding faster to demand shifts amid mounting EV and cost pressures.
Nissan plans to cut about 10% of jobs in Europe, putting roughly 900 roles at risk, as part of a wider global restructuring aimed at cutting costs and improving performance. In the UK, the automaker is changing how its Sunderland factory operates and is in talks with other companies to make use of additional space, signaling a push to stay resilient in a tough car market.
