The company is going to stop production at two sites in Japan, writers writes with reference to insiders. Optimization will also affect a number of foreign enterprises: “under the knife” will be launched by factories in South Africa, India, Argentina and Mexico. Thus, the Nissan suffering financial disaster is going to reduce current expenses. However, the manufacturer himself does not yet confirm plans for reducing excess capacity.
In Japan, Nissan considers the opportunity to get rid of two factories. The first is the plant in Oppam, which has been operating since 1961 and is able to produce about 240 thousand cars annually. At the end of 2024, about 3,900 people worked on the site. In 2010, a Leaf, an electric car-Bestseller, who is still the most common “battery” car in Russia, stood on its conveyor.
The second closing candidate is a plant in the Senan, which Nissan owns only half through the company Nissan Shatai. An enterprise with a capacity of 150 thousand cars per year produces commercial cars; The staff includes about 1,200 people.

If both plants are closed, Nissan in Japan will only have three auto -assembly sites – in the prefecture of Totiga, as well as the Nissan Motor Kyushu and Nissan Shatai Kyushu in the Fukuoka Prefecture.
The new head of Nissan Ivan Espinosis previously stated that as part of an anti -crisis strategy by 2027, the company will close seven factories around the world. This will lead to a reduction in 20 thousand jobs – about 15 percent of the total Nissan staff. According to him, the cause of the disaster was not only the rate on electric cars. The fault of all ambitious sales goals at the level of eight million cars per year, under which production was expanded.
