Chinese GWM Visits Nissan Barcelona To Audit The Facilities

A delegation from the Chinese manufacturer Great Wall Motors (GWM) has traveled to Barcelona to audit the facilities that Nissan will leave at the end of the year, and in which it proposes to locate its electric vehicle factory for Europe. Within the visit, they will also hold a meeting with staff representatives this afternoon.

As reported by the works councils, the reindustrialization table negotiates in three parties to give continuity to all the plants. Thus, GWM will analyze the Zona Franca (the main factory) and Montcada facilities, while with Silence the negotiations revolve around the land and warehouses of Montcada, as well as the dismantling times necessary to start the new activity.

In the case of the decarbonization hub promoted by QEV Technologies, they have already transferred their industrial plan focused on the Sant Andreu Plant, as requested at the reindustrialization table.

The unions acknowledge that the calendar is slower than expected, but stress the importance of not closing the reindustrialization “in the wrong” because of the rush.

In any case, they demand that there be a binding preliminary agreement before the end of the year for the future of the facilities that Nissan will then leave.

They also urge not to close any project separately, without having agreed to the total reindustrialization of the three plants, and not to definitively rule out any other projects previously presented, such as, for example, that of the Belgian Punch.
