Nissan is reconsidering his electric vehicle production calendar (EV) in the United States, due to possible changes in energy and trade policies, Bloomberg reported.
The company’s North -American Production Strategy is rethinking in response to possible policy changes, including the removal of a $ 7,500 tax credit for EVS.
The head of planning for Nissan Americanas operations, Ponz Pandikuthira, said that the start date and the EV’s departure levels in the corner, the Mississippi plant are not true. This is largely due to President Trump and the position of the Republican Congress on EV incentives.
Pandikuthira In an interview with Bloomberg, he said, “If they go back with the credit of $ 7,500, we know that the adoption rate will slow down.
“We do not want to be in a position to build models, there is no demand.”
Previously, the company was planning to introduce four new EV models to its Mississippi factory, from 2028, with production preparation until 2027.
However, these plans can be delayed and production volumes could also be reduced in favor of gas hybrids, including connection models, at their Smyrna plant, Tennessee.
Pandikuthira added: “We are closely attentive to what happens with the regulations. We can decide which ones will be achieved and which will be slowed.”
In a separate movement, Nissan has decided to suspend two infinity models, the QX50 and QX55, at the end of this year due to low demand.
These models are currently produced at a joint business plant in Mexico with Mercedes-Benz.
However, the firm does not plan to reduce operations in the other facilities in Mexico.
The future of the joint Mexican company, known as the manufacturing plants of Aguascalientes (Compas) cooperation, is still uncertain beyond May 2026, when it will stop assembling a model of Mercedes.
The CFO of the joint company, Mark Davidson, wrote in an email: “Nissan and Mercedes Benz are constantly reviewing and adapting to the requirements as needed. We currently have no more comments.”
In the midst of these changes, according to Nissan plans to 2,000 work cuts in the United States this year, with the aim of reducing its production by about 25%.
These measures follow a global restructuring plan announced last year to reduce 9,000 jobs and reduce production capacity by 20% due to financial challenges.
Last week, Bloomberg reported That Nissan Motor plans to stop the production of his ad compact van in November of this year to reduce excess production production.
