Nissan is planning to cut 900 jobs in Europe, as part of a larger initiative from the carmaker to trim its global workforce by as much as 15%.

According to Reuters, Nissan's planned cuts in Europe represent around 10% of its total employees in the bloc, with the bulk of the reductions expected to focus on white collar and warehouse roles. As part of the drawback, the company will also look to consolidate two lines at its Sunderland plant in the United Kingdom into one, partially close a warehouse in Barcelona, Spain, and shift to a distribution model handled by importer partners in Nordic markets. 

"We have been taking decisive actions to ⁠enhance performance and create a leaner, more resilient business that adapts quickly to market changes," Nissan said.

Speaking to Reuters, a Nissan Spain spokesperson said that the European cuts could impact roughly 500 workers in Spain, although that number could be lower once negotiations with local unions are complete. 

Nissan first announced its companywide restructuring plans in May 2025, which included plans to trim roughly 20,000 roles, both in the company's home country of Japan, and abroad. A handful of Japanese factories were slated to halt production as part of the restructuring. The carmaker also said that it would seek to reduce its global production capacity by 20%, in the face of its struggles in increasingly competitive markets in the U.S. and China.
