Nanjing denies further delays to MG
Stadco hitch will not affect MG TF production
Nanjing Automotive has denied that Longbridge production of the revamped MG TF will be delayed by the exit of a key body part supplier.
Earlier this week Stadco announced it would not build the model's body panels at the site as previously planned.
While the move has reportedly alarmed some suppliers who are now questioning the viability of the MG project, NAC has said the MG launch will not be affected.
The company said: “NAC is confident that the current body in white manufacturing capability, quality and progress being achieved has secured a launch quantity sufficient for a production start and continue without a break in supply.”
