The local MP has said a forecast of a decline in diesel is one of the reasons why a Sudbury engineering firm is facing possible closure with the loss of more than 500 jobs.
The US owners of Delphi Diesel Systems, external are looking at all their plants in the light of a predicted fall in demand for these engines, the Conservative MP for Suffolk South James Cartlidge said.
"The owners were entirely clear no decision had yet been made about the plant, but they outlined the reasons for the consultation with workers and said a final decision would be made in July or August.
"It was clear to me that it was necessary to prepare for that closure.
"They told me the plant was very good and the workers very productive and demand was good currently.
"However, a few years down the line this demand becomes weaker because of a structural change in the market with people moving away from diesel."
The MP said Sudbury had a strong enough economy to withstand the losses as profitable firms were based in the town, but it needed some help to prepare and to improve infrastructure.
Police are to continue to be more visible at key sites across Norfolk and Suffolk in the wake of the fourth terrorist incident in recent months.

Simon Megicks, from Norfolk and Suffolk's Protective Services, says they have been patrolling more visibly at certain large-scale events, and continuing their existing relationships with community leaders.
"Attacks such as those in London and Manchester seek to divide our communities and I would encourage people to work together rather than against each other, he said.
"I can reassure you that we take any hate crime against people of any background extremely seriously and will respond as such."
Any suspicious behaviour or activity can be reported on 0800 789 321, or 999 in an emergency.
