Overview

• Nissan will cease production at its CIVAC plant by March 2026 and shift assembly to its Aguascalientes complex under the Re:Nissan plan to reduce global capacity from 3.5 to 2.5 million vehicles.
• Affected employees can opt to relocate to Aguascalientes or tap into local job-placement programs, and union leaders aim to secure severance packages above the legally mandated baseline.
• The working group established by state and federal officials with union representatives is overseeing transfer logistics and negotiating support measures for displaced workers.
• Industry data show that disruptions to auto suppliers will be limited since Morelos accounts for just 1.5% of Mexico’s autoparts output and most vendors serve multiple facilities.
• President Claudia Sheinbaum and Governor Margarita González Saravia have pledged to attract new investors to repurpose the CIVAC site and bolster the regional economy.
