We learned from foreign media that the Spanish government and nissan union announced on December 13, local time, that Great Wall Motors has abandoned the acquisition of Nissan's plant in Barcelona, Spain, which will be closed before the end of the year. In this case, the Spanish government had to adopt a new plan, or divide the plant into several parts and sell it to several companies.
According to foreign media reports, Great Wall Motors is hesitant to acquire the plant, Great Wall Motor has increased its annual production capacity from 150,000 to 300,000 vehicles, and Nissan's Barcelona plant is no longer meeting its production plans in Europe. In addition, Great Wall Motors hopes to get more "public support".
Due to poor performance and a global restructuring of the Renault-Nissan alliance, Nissan had planned to close three plants in Barcelona in December 2020, but the closure was postponed for a year due to the local government's entry to find a replacement.
