Nissan will reduce around 160 office-based jobs in the UK as the Japanese company faces decreased sales amid plans to turn around its performance.

Last week, it committed to its northeast England factory and will source more batteries regionally to avoid tariffs on electric cars after the UK’s trade deal with the EU, calling the Brexit agreement an “opportunity” for the Sunderland site.

Nissan started what is now Britain’s biggest car plant in 1986 and made nearly 350,000 vehicles there in 2019.

Worldwide it has faced a torrid time in recent years and is cutting production capacity, model numbers, and operating expenses.

“We continually adapt our business to maximize efficiency in line with market conditions and we are currently in consultation with some of our office-based staff,” it said in a statement.
