Nissan Motor is undertaking a global restructuring plan that includes workforce reductions and factory closures across multiple countries. The company plans to cut about 5% of its workforce at the Sunderland plant in the UK, equating to approximately 250 jobs, as part of a broader target to reduce its global workforce by 15%. Despite a £2 billion investment in electric vehicle (EV) production at Sunderland, job cuts will proceed. In Japan, Nissan will cease production at its historic Oppama and Shonan plants by March 2028, affecting around 3,900 workers. The company is exploring options for the Oppama site, including potential sale or repurposing for logistics, and has ruled out joint ventures or contract manufacturing with Foxconn (Hon Hai). Nissan is also considering collaboration with Foxconn on EV production to maintain employment at Oppama, but this has not materialized. In the United States, Nissan will delay production of two EV models by up to a year due to the discontinuation of tax credits and subsidy withdrawals. In Mexico, Nissan announced it will close its Civac plant in Morelos by March 2026, moving pickup truck production to a factory in Aguascalientes as part of the restructuring. These measures come amid challenging market conditions, weak sales, and evolving industry dynamics. Nissan's president emphasized the difficulty but necessity of these decisions to return the company to a growth trajectory.
