Nissan may consider agreeing with Foxconn to preserve the Japanese car factory initially appeared in Autoblog.
The company that has created your iPhone can produce cars with Nissan
According to new reports published by Nikke and Reuters, “Taiwan’s electric car electronics and electronics manufacturer FoxConn (Hon Hai Precentry Co.) says he is negotiating with Japanese car manufacturer Nissan to create one of Yokohama.
Sources familiar with the issue said Newswire and Japanese business publication that these discussions are revolving around Foxconn to produce electric vehicles at the Nissan’s Oppama factory in Jokosuka, a factory of about 3900 people and an institution that is considered the main purpose of Nissan.

According to Nikke, the partnership would be part of a greater cooperation between EV and possibly involve a joint company of Taiwan and Japanese firms. If you succeed, the Nissan’s Oppama factory would be removed from the closure as its excess capacity would be transferred to Foxconn.
One source that talked to Nikke said that Nissan is currently talking to several partners, including Foxconn, in various ways to speed up the carmaker’s ambitious restructuring plan for the right -sized company. In a report seen by Reuters, Nissan said the Nikkei report was not based on the information published by the car manufacturer.
Nissan tries to keep light at an important historical office
Reports involved in Foxconn are submitted almost two months after reports of the possible closure of the Oppama factory in May and caused a large response from local government officials.
Opened in 1961, the Oppama factory has a certain historical weight for Yokohama car manufacturer. It was the first Nissan factory to produce mass electric vehicles, and is also a popular tourist attraction in the area. According to the car manufacturer, its annual production capacity is about 240,000 vehicles and employs 3,900 people in production and research roles. However, the Markliniai data shows that the factory use percentage was low due to slow car manufacturer’s sales. Last year, it was only 40%, which is much smaller than its turning point-80%.
Nevertheless, the possible closure of the Oppama factory would devastate Nissan and the area. Many important Nissan parts suppliers are near the factory, which is also the main option for Nissan research and development. The 170 ha of Oppama is a research center, a test facility and a carrier of car carriers. Losing the factory would force Nissan to create new trial courses and premises elsewhere, which could further complicate the company’s busy books.

Foxconn could be the true winner of the Nissan Agreement
While the Potential Foxconn Agreement could help Nissan unload unused capacity and save jobs and save its contractual network, such an agreement could help with iPhone and Xbox manufacturers to become a legal manufacturer of electric vehicles.
Jun Follow, former Nissan Executive Director and Foxconn EV chief strategy officer, has established a partnership with established car brands, although its goal is to sell its EVS earlier in the US, said the company plans to start FoxCont. the year. The vehicle in question is expected to be a compact crossing and will be produced in Taiwan export to Australia and New Zealand.
Final thoughts
Negotiations take place as Espinosa’s Re: Nissan Restructuring Plans for a worldwide car production capacity from 5 million cars to about 2.5 million cars, with a slight increase in 3 million overtime and as many as 4 million partners’ products.
Although Nissan is a global company, data show that the largest share of its sales is to US customers on a publicly available document on the Nissan Global Website, 76,977 Nissan and Infiniti brand vehicles were sold in the US 2025. In May, and in Japan it moved only 27,736 cars.
As I mentioned earlier, the Nissan’s C-Suite has more than just an inflated production capacity when it comes to saving. In its big market, Trump’s administration wants to strengthen its tariff heavy trading policies with those who do not want to play the ball. So far, we can only expect that Japanese car manufacturer will be fine and that the US -Japanese trade agreement can take place in the ongoing debate.
