Nissan to Shutter Oppama and Shonan Plants Under Re:Nissan Plan

Models from Oppama and Shonan will be built at Nissan Motor Kyushu under a strategy to streamline operations.

Overview

  • Nissan will end vehicle production at Oppama by the end of fiscal 2027 (March 2028), shifting assembly to Nissan Motor Kyushu.
  • The Shonan plant will stop AD wagon manufacturing in October 2025, with NV200 van output ending by March 2027.
  • These factory closures are essential to the Re:Nissan plan to shrink Nissan’s global plant network from 17 to 10 sites by fiscal 2027.
  • The automaker intends to cut roughly 15 percent of its global workforce, around 20,000 jobs, through transfers, voluntary departures and layoffs.
  • The overhaul follows a ¥671 billion net loss last year and seeks to centralize production to boost efficiency and reduce costs in the face of tariffs and Chinese EV competition.
