The Japanese have a letter sent to their factory workers in the United Kingdom, with the opinion to be against a departure from the EU vote.

Next Thursday there will be during a referendum in the United Kingdom to decide whether the British within the European Union continue or not. If the British votes to leave the European Union, then the result according to Toyota that there is a lot in the cost must be cut. An alternative is that the prices of the cars that are in the United Kingdom are to be built as a ten percent increase. A Brexit will inevitably lead to less cars sold, according to Toyota. Therefore, it advises its employees against a Brexit vote.

Toyota produces per year about 190,000 cars in the country, as well as engines and spare parts intended for elsewhere produced cars. A large part of the production is intended for export to other European countries. We have more than 3400 people at Toyota Manufacturing UK, spread over two factories. In the factory in Burnaston in Derbyshire are cars like the Auris and Auris Hybrid built in Deeside (North Wales) engines built.
