Nissan Restructures Global Design Operations under 'Re:Nissan' Plan
Nissan Motor is set to close design centers in California and Sao Paulo, while scaling back in London and Japan, as part of a global design realignment. The restructuring, aiming for completion by fiscal 2025, will consolidate design operations into five major hubs, supporting the broader 'Re:Nissan' plan.
Nissan Motor announced the closure of its design centers in California and Sao Paulo, alongside scaled-back operations in London and Japan. This strategic move forms part of a broader realignment within the company's global design organization, with completion expected by the end of fiscal 2025.
The Japanese automaker's restructuring efforts are meant to streamline design activities as a component of its 'Re:Nissan' plan. The initiative will see the consolidation of design operations into five main hubs: Los Angeles, London, Shanghai, Tokyo, and Japan's Atsugi.
Los Angeles is set to become Nissan's primary U.S. design hub, while London will maintain support for regions including Africa, the Middle East, India, Europe, and Oceania in partnership with Renault. Details on job impacts remain undisclosed. CEO Ivan Espinosa, who assumed his role in April, revealed these plans alongside strategies to scale down global production by 2027.
