Nissan to assemble two new vehicles here in Sta Rosa

[carlocaraddict]

Its in PDI today. It was mentioned that NMPI will assemble 2 vehicles here and will stop assembling the Cefiro and Sentra here. Cefiros and Sentras will be imported from Thailand. NMPI will continue to assemble the X-trail. Hint na kaya ito na dadating yung Teana dito? Thai Sentra looks the same as the yulon sentra.

Sana nga... About time we lost the last of the Yulon products.

I think baka yung Presage at Tiida or next gen US version Sentra ang nandito.

[Blackraven]

Did someone mention PRESAGE???





Yehey!!!

But.............. I just hope na it will have an LHD version, kasi kung hindi, wala nang pagasa na dadating ito sa Pinas.

OT:

Kawawa naman ang 'pinas! Lahat na imported (halos lahat galing Thailand, pa)! That is why I salute Ford Motors Philippines. They are the only ones doing a complete ground-up manufacturing of vehicles here since they declared the Philippines their (south east) Asian manufacturing hub. They export vehicles to Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Taiwan, etc. Ford will be investing another $50 million to further expand their factory very soon.

pero tagal yata ng tax holiday nila, plus may pending case pa with Francisco motors regading Mazda motors.

But still they provided jobs, ill give Credit to that.

govt. stability and economic stability ng isang bansa....

noon ngang late 90's nagbalak magtayo ng design office yung company namin dyan sa pinas, kaya lang nagback-out din because of our govt. system at economic stability....

mas stable ang economy ng thailand kesa sa pinas....heck kahit nga ang vietnam eh maganda ang pinupuntahan ng gobyerno nila considering na katatapos pa lang nilang mag-giyera nong 70's....

Ok sana ang Mazda at ford pero ang pangit ng lineup nila dito,yung Tribute at Escape ay halos langawin na at yung Focus,failed na yata.Yung Mazda 3 lang ang ok pero parating ubos.Hmm.........

Teana dito? Thai Sentra looks the same as the yulon sentra.

hmm.. Nissan taena.. ayos sa pangalan..

I have been told that Toyota shifted to Thailand since the labor is much cheaper there compared to here.

But I think its more than that. I dont know, if its just me, but I find the workers here demand high pay with very little to contribute in terms of results. Also keep in mind that "welgas" or strikes are also quite prevalent esp. with militant labour groups such as mayo-uno.

sabi sa newspaper kanina.. lalabas nila ang MURANO by next year..

good move kaya yun?

I don't think it's a bad thing that we're getting Sentras and Cefiros from Thailand. Note: THESE ARE RUN-OUT MODELS! That means production for only another year or two at the most!

The local plant already produces the X-Trail for export to the ASEAN and JAPAN. We've gotten JDPowers Initial Quality Awards for the locally assembled X-Trail (as well as the Lynx), and it's a good bet that's why they're going to be making the new models here also. Take heart! That means the Philippines is getting a leg up from Nissan!

Nissan May Close Its Sta. Rosa, Laguna Assembly Plantl

Nissan may be winding down their assembly at the Sta. Rosa, Laguna plant soon. As the Japanese carmaker grips with operating profit that plunged 99 percent, CEO Hiroto Saikawa is now concentrating on cutting jobs and overhauling business to fast track their recovery. At the center? Sub-scale market assemblies that include the Nissan plant in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

A Bloomberg report states that manufacturing units in Indonesia, Philippines, and Taiwan are first on the chopping block as Nissan announced job cuts amounting to 12,500 worldwide. The job cuts amount to 9 percent of their total global workforce. The move will boost global factory utilization rate to 86 percent from 69 percent; and in return, this will help boost their operating profit.

Under Saikawa, Nissan has undergone a painful shift away from disgraced former CEO Ghosn’s volume-led charge. Ghosn was always concerned with increasing volume by targeting fleet sales and incentivizing wholesale deliveries. That changed under Saikawa as he wants to improve their profitability. However, this will reduce Nissan’s size to 6.6 million vehicles produced a year from the current 7.2 million.

Sales are also down globally as well due to an aging line-up. With that, Nissan plans to trim their global product offering by 10 percent, while also introducing 20 new vehicles. The company will also bet on Nissan Intelligent Mobility to strengthen their product competitiveness.

Ghosn's rapid expansion strategy is really a massive failure.
