Nissan Considers Foxconn EV Output to Save Oppama From Closure, Nikkei Says

  • Nissan is in talks with Taiwanese electronics giant Foxconn to produce electric vehicles at its Oppama plant in Yokosuka as part of a possible partnership.
  • This discussion arises amid Nissan's global restructuring and earlier closure plans for Oppama caused by financial difficulties and falling plant utilization.
  • Oppama, operating since 1961 with a 240,000 vehicle capacity, ran at 40% utilization last year due to Nissan's declining global sales and tariff-related profit losses.
  • A source confirmed the talks could help preserve the plant’s 3,900 jobs and reverse closure plans, while Foxconn aims to expand EV production in Japan.
  • The collaboration may boost Nissan's restructuring efforts by improving plant use and easing local government concerns about Oppama's future.
