Nissan’s new chief executive has signalled the possibility of its Chinese partner to use the Sunderland car plant to produce vehicles

As part of Nissan’s turnaround, the Japanese group has unveiled plans to work more closely with Dongfeng, its partner in China for more than 20 years, to export vehicles jointly developed in China.

Espinosa said he was open to the idea of Dongfeng producing its vehicles at Nissan’s factory in Sunderland

In 2023, Nissan announced a £1.12bn investment in its Sunderland plant to make two electric models at the site, but also warned of job cuts in the UK because of the government’s EV targets, which have since been watered down.

Sanofi said on Wednesday that it is planning on investing $20 billion (€17.8 billion) in the next five years to expand its capacity to manufacture drugs in the US.

The EU plans to significantly increase tariffs on Ukrainian goods after the current duty-free deal lapses on June 6, the Financial Times reported on May 14, citing undisclosed diplomatic sources.

The EU concluded a duty-free regime deal with Ukraine in 2022 to alleviate the Ukrainian economy amid the full-scale war with Russia and help the country ship out its goods, primarily agricultural products, to global markets.
