Boris Johnson looking to 'protect' UK-based car manufacturers from Brexit

UK-based carmakers, including Nissan and Jaguar Land Rover, won’t face a regulatory cliff-edge that damages their competitiveness in European markets at the end of 2020, according to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government.

Nadhim Zahawi, a business minister, said he’s "confident" British negotiators will be able to broker a deal with the EU which ensures no tariffs or quotas on car parts and keeps just-in-time supply chains running when the 11-month Brexit transition period is due to expire at the end of the year.
