Recently, Nissan announced that it plans to start producing electric vehicles for China's Dongfeng Motor at its plant in Wuhan by the end of 2024, which not only marks the deepening of the cooperation between the two sides, but also indicates that Nissan's layout in China's electric vehicle market will be further accelerated.
Nissan, Japan's third-largest automaker, has been working closely with China's Dongfeng Motor. The two companies have decided to jointly produce electric vehicles at the Wuhan plant in order to reduce fixed costs and improve capacity utilization, which has been declining due to declining sales. This will not only help Nissan optimize its global production layout, but also provide Dongfeng Motor with more high-quality electric vehicle products to meet market demand.
As an important production base of Nissan in China, the Wuhan plant has advanced production equipment and manufacturing technology. The partnership will make full use of the plant's production capacity and technological advantages to produce high-quality electric vehicles for Dongfeng Motor. At the same time, Nissan will provide advanced electric vehicle technology and related parts and services to ensure that the performance and quality of products reach the international leading level.
