The UK is his third biggest export market and Brexit is on his mind. He hopes for"an orchestrated deal" but says that if the UK were instead to leave without a deal, then his company would adapt, but manage.
"I'm very confident in the brand. If there will be a more sluggish market in the UK then we can compensate." Schot shrugs."Tariffs - in the short term that will be something we will have to cope with. In the long term I think we can cope with that.""Let's wait and see - we're not the only ones in the market. There may be a shift [among British buyers] from bigger cars to smaller cars, from one segment to another." Another shrug."It would be great if we got a deal done.
As for electrification, Schot told me that the move from customers towards electric cars had come"quicker than we expected". And deadlines are approaching.
