:'While Nissan’s decision to keep X-Trail production in Japan will have no immediate effect on jobs in Britain, it represents the cancellation of increased capacity in Sunderland and the creation of a so-called “super site”, which local component makers had been gearing up to supply.


:Mike Matthews, former managing director of Nifco, an automotive parts manufacturer based in Stockton-on-Tees which supplies makers including Nissan, told i: “The Nissan announcement will be a big disappointment. When X-Trail was originally announced, it was big news. There hadn’t been a new model announced in the UK in around 20 years."'
