Nissan to build US$905m plant in China

Japan鈥檚 Nissan Motor Co will spend US$905 million to build a new auto assembly plant in China that will allow the company to lift production by 30 percent, the Nikkei newspaper said yesterday.

Nissan, which operates in China through a joint venture with Dongfeng Motor Group Co Ltd, is in the final stages of talks with its Chinese partner to build a new plant in Wuhan in Hubei Province, the Nikkei said without citing sources.

The investment in Wuhan, which totals 100 billion yen (US$905 million), is expected to have an annual production capacity of 200,000 to 300,000 cars a year, the Nikkei reported.

New production lines will be added to a Dongfeng plant in Changzhou in Jiangsu Province, which will increase capacity by about 120,000 passenger cars a year, a spokesman from Nissan said in response to questions about the Nikkei鈥檚 story.

In addition to Changzhou, Nissan is exploring the possibility of expanding production capacity in China, but no further details can be confirmed, the spokesman said.
