After news broke a couple of days ago that Nissan plans to cut 1,200 jobs, the shift towards lowering costs in the manufacturing process continues for Nissan Motors. This time around, they are shifting supermini production to Thailand, a move that is expected to help the falling fortunes of falling auto-sales.
“The shift in production of Micra from Britain and India has already been announced, but regarding the rest of the report, we have not made any announcement,” said spokeswoman Ikue Matsuura.
Nissan said Thursday it was slashing production in the current financial year by 21 percent.
The third-largest auto manufacturer from Japan is taking on all angles to lower down its production cost to continuously operate efficiently. Nissan is redesigning its popular March supermini car jointly with its French partner Renault SA, hoping to appeal to customers looking for fuel-efficient cars.
