Around 25% of their sales were to China and then that figure halved. The China sales figures also dropped for other manufacturers.
90% of their vehicles run on diesel, so the diesel debacle will have a disproportionate effect.

The removal of the "backstop" is still in the one-sided gift of the EU. "Temporary" can still mean "Indefinite", EG the Barnett formula was only supposed to be temporary, but more than 40 years on it is still in place with NO legal basis. Probably more examples out there.
