Nissan is set to cut production at a number of factories in Japan throughout May as it continues to grapple with the global shortage of semiconductors.
Sources with knowledge of the plans state that Nissan will idle its factory in Kyushu for eight days between May 10 and 19. This factory handles production of the Serena, X-Trail, and a number of other models. Nissan is expected to make up for lost production once the supply of chips returns to normal levels.
In addition, sources tell
Reuters that Nissan’s Oppama and Shatai factories will cancel the night shift between May 10-28. A fourth factory in Tochigi will also idle production for 10 days during May.
