Infiniti Motor Co., the luxury division of Japanese automaker Nissan, says it's withdrawing from Western Europe — offering another blow to car makers in the U.K. bracing for Britain's departure from the European Union.
 
The company mentioned on Tuesday that as part of its restructuring plan, it will cease making two models, the Q30 and QX30, by mid-2019 at the manufacturing plant in Sunderland, in northern England.
 
Nissan ended plans in February to build a latest diesel-powered X-Trail sports power vehicle in Sunderland. That inverted a decision proclaimed two years ago after Prime Minister Theresa May's government offered some 60 million pounds in incentives.
 
Car makers are being required to measure uncertainty about feasible tariffs and border checks at a time when the industry confronts a wholesale overhaul amid changing consumer habits.
