Overview

• Nissan will cease production at its CIVAC plant in Morelos by March 2026 and shift operations to its larger Aguascalientes complex.
• The closure puts about 2,400 direct jobs at risk but employees will maintain their positions until December 2025 under negotiated agreements.
• Morelos and federal officials have formed a task force to facilitate worker transfers, offer local reemployment options and provide temporary financial assistance.
• Local parts suppliers are expected to face limited disruption since Morelos accounts for just 1.5 percent of Mexico’s autoparts output.
• Authorities are actively courting new investors to repurpose the vacated CIVAC site and offset the coming economic void.
