If the Japanese carmaker goes ahead with the plan it could result in 400 jobs being threatened, Sky sources say.
The Nissan proposals would see the number of shifts on a production line making Qashqai and Leaf vehicles reduced from three to two.It comes weeks after Sky News revealed that Nissan would not make its new X-Trail model in Sunderland - Britain's biggest car plant - as previously planned. That decision was blamed on emissions regulations and reduced sales forecasts, while the company added that uncertainty around Brexit was"not helping".
The latest development comes as BMW warns it may have to stop producing Mini production from the UK in the event of a no-deal departure from the EU.
Probably because no one is buying their expensive diesel models
