Two born every minute: inside Nissan’s Sunderland factory by CAR Magazine
► Join us on a tour of Europe's most efficient car factory
► Two cars roll off the production line every single minute
► Tour the home of the Qashqai, Q30 and more
As one of the most efficient car plants in the world, Nissan Sunderland builds half a million Qashqais, Jukes, Notes, Leafs and now Infiniti Q30s a year, at such a speed that raw material is turned into a car in less than a day. Extrapolate Henry Ford’s eureka moment forward through a century of technological progress and you wind up here, in a cathedral of manufacturing in which men, women and robots create 115 cars an hour in a heavy metal ballet of collaborative effort.
the UK runs several of the world’s most efficient plants
BBC News | BUSINESS | UK car plants most efficient in Europe
Nissan and Toyota's British car factories were the most efficient in Europe in 2000, followed by plants run by Ford and General Motors in Germany, according to a study published on Thursday.
A Volkswagen plant in Emden, Germany, making the Passat large family car, was the least efficient, according to World Markets Research Centre's (WMRC) annual European Automotive Productivity Index.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

and just in case you think its a flash in the panwethe Japanese have been doing it for years.
The Japanese can make any manufacturing plant in Europe the most efficient in Europe wherever they go.
The last "successful" British car to roll off the production line was the Austin Princess.

Tavares told reporters during a briefing in Detroit that a hard Brexit, that results in tariffs on exports of U.K.-built vehicles would increase pressure to cut costs. He said the U.K. plant, which Peugeot took over when it acquired Opel and Vauxhall from General Motors Co(GM.N) last year, is at efficiency levels similar to where Peugeot stood four years ago, when Tavares began his turnaround effort at the French automaker.
“What counts is to bring (U.K.) plants to the level of cost and quality that is the same as Continental Europe,” Tavares said.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Seems a common thread, but the suggestion being based in the UK is significant is of course Bollux
The point I was making was that it is perfectly possible to run a very efficient car plant in the UK. Just that the French weren't up to it.
