Nissan mulls shifting some domestic production to US, Nikkei reports
Reuters
Nissan Motor Co. is reportedly considering a production shift that would see some U.S.-bound vehicles manufactured domestically in the United States as early as this summer, according to a Nikkei report on Saturday.
The Japanese automaker is planning to reduce production at its Fukuoka factory and move a portion of the manufacturing for its popular Rogue SUV to U.S. facilities. This strategic decision aims to mitigate the impact of additional tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump’s administration on exported vehicles.
The Rogue SUV, a key model in Nissan’s lineup for the U.S. market, is currently produced at both the Fukuoka plant and a U.S.-based facility. The proposed shift would not only help Nissan manage rising export costs but also reinforce its commitment to maintaining competitive pricing for American consumers amid a challenging global trade environment.
While the Nikkei report did not cite specific sources, the move is seen as part of Nissan’s broader efforts to adapt to evolving trade policies and safeguard its market position in the United States. Further details on the timing and scope of the production changes are expected to emerge as the company evaluates its strategic options.
