LONDON (Kyodo) Japanese automakers operating in Britain have announced production cuts due to the slowing European economy, but Toyota Motor Corp., Nissan Motor Co. and Honda Motor Co. have so far announced no workforce reductions.
Carmakers from other countries have also cut back in Britain in recent months, but given the size of their footprint, the state of the Japanese producers is particularly important for the economy.
Nissan, the biggest automaker in Britain, announced Tuesday it will halt production of the Micra, sold in Japan as the March, and the NOTE for two weeks.
