Nissan welcome Government’s consideration of import ban

Nissan has welcomed the Government’s announcement that it is considering a ban on certain used car imports from the UK. The Department of Finance confirmed that it is “examining options” in relation to the ban on old, dirty diesel imports.

The Department has also “recognised that the large-scale importation of used diesel cars from the UK, over the past number of years, was undesirable from a public health perspective”, as well as an Exchequer perspective.
