In the near future, Nissan will carry out a reconstruction. The manufacturer intends to cut car sales, causes and consequences. Nissan will carry out a refurbishment in the near future. The manufacturer intends to reduce car sales, causes and consequences.
Nissan's managers are said to be announcing a complete reconstruction plan in May. Previously, there is a clause that says about a decrease in annual sales of new cars by 1 million copies. Thus, the manufacturer plans to sell no more than 5 million vehicles per year. Previously, the ex-head of the company, Carlos Ghosn, set a goal to reach sales of 8 million. Further, Hiroto Saikawa, appointed to the place of the head of Nissan, lowered the bar to 6 million, and the subsequent head, Makoto Uchida, decided to lower the bar to 5 million.
This approach to reducing car sales is associated with the global economy, the coronavirus pandemic and, of course, a decrease in demand for cars. Looking ahead, I would like to say that such a reconstruction of Nissan will lead to the closure of 3 or 4 car assembly plants. Accordingly, this is a reduction in thousands of jobs. This is an addition to the existing workforce “optimization” plan by 10% to cut staff. The company is likely to become compact by 2023, and we should not expect an increase in production in terms of number of copies. According to the available official information, in the 4th quarter of 2019 alone, Nissan suffered losses in the amount of USD 238 million. As statistics show, this is the worst result in the last 10 years of production. Also, the company is now looking for lenders who are ready to invest $ 4.6 billion, thereby surviving in such a difficult time.
The further emergence of new models depends on whether a lender is found or not. If the funds are found, the official premiere of the vital new models of Nissan Qashqai (Rogue Sport), the updated X-Trail (Rogue), as well as the new Nissan Frontier pickup will take place. Now the manufacturer is developing a new generation of the Z-series sports car, which was previously planned to be shown in 1-2 years. Earlier it was said that they want to present the new Nissan X-Trail, despite the quarantine due to the coronavirus.
