The Honda factory in Swindon, England, is the only production facility of the Japanese car manufacturer in the European Union. But soon it could be tight. Many jobs are at stake.

The Japanese car maker Honda will reportedly close up to the year 2022 its factory in the southern English town of Swindon. The decision was linked to the global developments and not with the Brexit, the insured, the conservative MP for the Region of Swindon, Justin Tomlinson, via Twitter. Also, the British channels BBC and Sky News reported about an imminent plant closure.

The company will not comment “at this time, this speculation,” said a Honda spokesman. “We take our responsibility to our employees very seriously and communicate all the important news first to you.” Honda wanted to proclaim his decision officially this Tuesday. In Swindon has been produced for 24 years, the Honda model Civic. The factory has 3500 Workers.

Uncertainties

Until the beginning of February, the Japanese car maker Nissan had buried his plans for the production of its SUV X-Trail in the North of England Sunderland – and as a reason for uncertainty about the Brexits specified. Earlier, the European aerospace and defence group Airbus had announced “very painful” decisions for the case of a British EU – exit without an agreement. The Japanese electronics giant Sony wants to relocate its European headquarters from the UK to the Netherlands.
