Overview

  • Nissan’s global Re:Nissan plan calls for a one-million-unit production cut that includes shutting the CIVAC plant by March 2026 and shifting its output to Aguascalientes.
  • Governor Margarita González Saravia has formally offered Nissan fiscal breaks, logistical assistance and industrial reconversion proposals in a letter to CEO Iván Espinosa.
  • Morelos officials see a narrow window to negotiate technological upgrades or retooling for electric-vehicle or component assembly to preserve some local production.
  • State economic secretary José Víctor Sánchez Trujillo pointed to the plant’s lagging investment in hybrid and EV capacity as key factors behind Nissan’s exit decision.
  • The state government is courting new investors to repurpose vacated facilities, with six medical and tech firms committed and Amazon executives scheduled to visit as part of economic diversification plans.
