Nissan CEO and Renault President Carlos Ghosn has been knighted for his “contributions to the relations between the UK and Japan.” Currently, Nissan builds many of its vehicles in the Sunderland plant in the UK, including the very popular Micra subcompact and the forthcoming Qashqai. After being in the spotlight during the time period when GM engaged in talks with Nissan-Renault, it must be nice to get some positive recognition.
But of all the perks that usually come with being knighted, he won’t be referred to as “Sir Carlos” anytime soon because he’s a foreign national. Instead, he has the ability to add the three letters KBE at the end of his name, which stand for Knight Commander of the British Order. It does make me wonder if anyone from Honda will be receiving recognition any time soon for their efforts to build cars at the Swindon, UK plant.
