Despite Nissan Motor Co.'s decision to keep automotive production in Britain after its exit from the European Union, industry experts have mixed views over whether other Japanese carmakers will follow suit.
Experts interviewed are unsure how freely British firms will be able to trade in cars and automotive components with the 28-nation bloc after the so-called British exit. Nissan's recent decision to build two new models at its Sunderland plant has been seen as a vote of confidence in the Brexit strategy.
The government says it will push for a continuation of tariff-free trade with the European Union in cars and parts, as well as assist with training, capital investment and research and development.
