The factory of Nissan of the Franca area of Barcelona breathes a little quieter at this time of crisis upon learning that will be in charge of manufacturing a new model of van. It's the van that the Japanese multinational had planned build in its delegation of Tangier (Morocco). Nissan has decided to award the project to Barcelona, whose factory will create this van to 45,000 units in 2010. Production will start before Christmas. EUR 200 million that will be used to prepare the launch, adapting the production platform and adjust the lines of providers will be invested to carry out the project.
The new vehicle is a van of segment B whose platform is the same as use other models of the company as a Note or Micra. Also free trade zone will continue to preparing the Pathfinder and Navara and Primastar models. Despite the truce which represents the new custom, Nissan maintains the need to cut back its Spanish staff in 1,400 people with a plan of low-end casualties.
