Overview

• Nissan confirmed vehicle output at its Oppama plant will end at the close of fiscal year 2027.
• After closure, all Oppama models will be built at Nissan Motor Kyushu in Fukuoka Prefecture.
• The shutdown supports a broader plan to cut production sites from 17 to 10 by FY2027 to reduce costs.
• The automaker posted a 671 billion yen net loss last year and plans to eliminate about 15% of its global workforce, roughly 20,000 jobs.
• U.S. tariffs on Japanese imports and rising competition from Chinese electric-vehicle brands have squeezed margins and prompted talks with Foxconn on EV production.
