Sources: 6. Developments: 2. Nissan is undergoing a significant restructuring of its global manufacturing and industrial networks. In Japan, the company announced a plan to optimize its domestic production to maintain a scale of approximately one million vehicles annually. This involves reallocating production across Japanese facilities, such as transforming the Tochigi plant into a high-end technology hub for electric and sports vehicles while specializing Kyushu-based plants for B-segment, C-segment, and large-scale off-road models. Globally, the company is managing varied operational shifts. In the United Kingdom, the Sunderland plant has resolved supply chain bottlenecks affecting Nissan Leaf production, which is viewed as essential for the European electric vehicle pipeline. Meanwhile, in Mexico, Nissan has experienced a 25.1% decrease in vehicle assembly following the permanent closure of the CIVAC plant. Production has shifted to Aguascalientes, though the COMPAS joint venture in that region is scheduled to cease operations in 2026. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-25: Nissan adjusts global production amid UK supply recovery and Mexico plant closures Nissan is restructuring its global production, resolving supply chain issues at its Sunderland plant in the UK while managing plant closures and production shifts in Mexico. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nissan-adjusts-global-production-amid-uk-supply-recovery-and-mexico-plant-closures ### 2026-09-10: Nissan announces major restructuring of Japanese production network Nissan is restructuring its Japanese production network to maintain an annual output of one million vehicles, consolidating high-end MPV manufacturing in Tochigi while specializing its Kyushu plants. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nissan-announces-major-restructuring-of-japanese-production-network --- Cite as: Nissan global manufacturing restructuring.
