Honda is closing its only British factory, wiping out 3,500 jobs
Honda has just dealt the United Kingdom's auto industry a huge blow.
The Japanese carmaker said Tuesday that it will shut down a major manufacturing plant in the English town of Swindon that employs 3,500 people.
Honda (HMC) has made more than 3 million cars in Swindon since its plant there opened three decades ago. The factory currently makes the Honda Civic, and is capable of producing as many as 150,000 of the cars a year. It will close in 2021 under the plan Honda announced Tuesday.
Swindon is the Japanese company's only car plant in the European Union. Vehicles made in the factory are exported to more than 70 countries.
The restructuring will also involve Honda's operations in Turkey, which currently produce 38,000 Civic sedans per year. That will cease in 2021.

This has nothing to do with Brexit but Guano won't tell you that. Honda has had some big problems in recent years not least with the Honda Civic and expensive recalls. Toyota has recently committed to over £400 million extra investment in its car plant at Burnaston, Derbyshire.

Why UK’s auto sector fears no-deal Brexit
Britain’s car makers are dependent on mainland Europe for auto parts and emerging technologies. High tariffs can be a disaster
In July last year, Tata-Motors-owned Jaguar Land Rover issued a stark warning that a bad Brexit deal could cost the company more than £1.2 billion profit each year, putting £80 billion of further investment and jobs at risk.
“If the UK automotive industry is to remain globally competitive and protect 300,000 jobs in Jaguar Land Rover and our supply chain, we must retain tariff and customs-free access to trade and talent with no change to current EU regulations,” said CEO Ralf Speth at the time.
Other auto giants sent out a similar message: Japanese car maker Nissan highlighted its UK plants’ dependence on just-in-time supply chains that brought in components from the EU mainland and depended heavily on swift, delay free passage.

German car manufacturers are crapping themselves over a no deal, we are their biggest export market with nearly 800 thousand cars per year. Guano should look up the meaning of quid pro quo, alas he's too ignorant to understand such complexities.
