BMW to build new Mini convertible in the Netherlands
The VDL Nedcar factory in Born will begin production of the new Mini convertible next month, news agency ANP says on Friday.
The Mini convertible is the second car to be made in Born since the factory relaunched after Mitsubishi pulled out in 2012. The plant also produces Mini’s 3-door hatchbacks.
The Born plant is the only place in the world where BMW will produce the new version of the Mini, ANP says.
VDL Nedcar is now an independent car manufacturer with a workforce of some 2,350. That is 850 more than when Mitsubishi pulled out, the Financieele Dagblad says. The new Mini deal will not lead to any further expansion in the workforce in the short term, the paper says.

BMW cuts Mini production in Limburg after strikes
German car maker BMW has cut the number of cars it is producing at the VDL Nedcar plant in Limburg following concerns about the number of strikes.
In total, BMW has slashed the production of new Minis by 1,000 and dozens of jobs are at risk, the Financieele Dagblad said at the weekend.
There have been three one-day strikes over the past six months and a fourth is planned for Monday.
The VDL Group’s Jan Mooren told the paper part of the production of the Mini Hatch is now being transferred to Oxford. BMW itself has not made a connection between the strikes and the production cut, the FD said.
According to local broadcaster L1, Mooren is concerned that other orders may be lost because of the damage to the company’s image.
