Nissan to cut 900 European jobs

PARIS/BARCELONA/LONDON: Nissan Motor will cut about 900 jobs in Europe, around 10 percent of the total, and consolidate production from two lines to one at its Sunderland plant in the UK as part of a global restructuring drive, the Japanese automaker said on Tuesday.

The job cuts will focus on white-collar and warehouse roles, a Nissan Europe spokesperson said, adding that the company’s current European headcount stands at about 9,300.
