It's a European factory and was designed to bypass all sorts of regulations which they no longer can bypass and have access to a huge labour force. I feel it's going to end up moving itself to Marseille or which ever municipal will subsidise costs the most to have it.Renault and wanted to move the most productive plant in Europe to France for years.
Nissan (to their credit), have held out.
The drop in the value of the pound, will actually help their exports.

I dread to think what would have happened if Nissan hadn't arrived in the region.
Granted it and it's suppliers only recruited a fraction of the numbers made redundant from shipyards and pits, but it was still a significant number.
