Nissan is to stop the production of cylinder heads on site at its plant in Sunderland, northern England, from early 2024, with 250 staff being redeployed elsewhere.

The automotive giant’s deal with French firm Renault to build cylinder heads is due to end in 2024.

The move comes weeks after Nissan's unveiling of its EV360Zero system in Sunderland, bringing together a new battery plant and locally sourced green energy to power production – a blueprint the firm said it will expand into other markets around the world. The Japanese car maker said the plan would create more 1,600 jobs at Sunderland, along with a further 4,500 in the supply chain.

Nissan's Sunderland site, which employs roughly 6,000 people, has been engulfed in speculation about its post-Brexit future for years.

Meanwhile, UK new car registrations fell by 9% in July 2022 as the sector continues to be hit by supply and semiconductor shortages.

Registrations totalled 112,162 units in July, down from 123,296 in the year earlier, according to figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).

The car industry body said it was the fifth consecutive month of decline this year, but the smallest drop in 2022 so far.

(Reuters) -Germany will not need to invest its central bank cash deposits in new ways for now after the European Central Bank decided to pay interest on them, a finance agency spokesperson told Reuters on Friday.

The ECB said on Thursday it would pay interest on governments' cash deposits until April 30 2023, temporarily removing a 0% cap after the hike.
