Overview

  • Nissan is reported to intend shutting its 60-year-old CIVAC plant in Jiutepec by March 2027 and ending COMPAS joint-venture operations in Aguascalientes by early 2026, according to Automotive News sources.
  • The automaker insists its global manufacturing review under the Re:Nissan strategy is still underway and has only formally confirmed closures in Japan and Argentina.
  • The Re:Nissan restructuring aims to shrink Nissan’s factory network from 17 to 10 sites and cut annual capacity from 3.5 million to 2.5 million vehicles.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that no automaker, including Nissan, has informed the Mexican government of any intention to exit the country.
  • Chinese manufacturers BYD and SAIC are reportedly exploring offers for the CIVAC facilities if Nissan finalizes the closure decision.
