Nissan Motor has begun negotiations with the union representing employees of Nissan Automotive Europe regarding the restructuring plan that includes job reductions.
According to reports from “Reuters” this Tuesday, the Japanese brand is negotiating with the representatives of the workers at Nissan Automotive Europe in France, which has 560 employees.
Nissan Automotive Europe, which also oversees the brand’s operations in Africa, the Middle East, India, and Oceania, will undergo restructuring in the near future as part of the company’s cost-cutting strategy, which includes job reductions and a decrease in global production capacity.
According to the same source, Nissan and the union have agreed to discuss voluntary layoffs, and the negotiations are expected to be concluded by October 20, with the results of the negotiations to be shared with the workers in November.
It should be noted that Nissan recently announced it will close the Cuernavaca factory in Mexico, after decades of continuous operation and millions of vehicles produced.
The factory, one of the oldest production units of the brand outside Japan, has been operating since 1966 and will close in March 2026, marking the end of a significant chapter in Nissan’s production history.
