The company will shift production if management and trade unions at the Barcelona factory do not reach an agreement on a collective labour contract aimed at improving the productivity and the flexibility of the plant.
At present, Nissan is reducing the production of the Terrano, Almera Tino and X-83 models in Barcelona. However, if a labour contract for the Spanish plant is not agreed, the company may begin the production of new models in other plants.
At present, the negotiations are in a deadlock.
