Nissan announced that efforts to put production back on track following the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan have proven successful.
Facilities in the United States and Mexico, which build 60 percent of vehicles for the Canadian market, have confirmed Canadian supply levels are unaffected and all facilities are assessing their ability for increased production volumes in anticipation of strong demand.
In spite of the disaster, global Nissan production hit an all-time high in the last business year from April 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011, rising 24.5 percent to 4.21 million units.
Japanese output alone rose 4.6 percent to 1.07 million cars, as demand for Juke, Rogue and Infiniti QX56 took off.
“In Canada, we are pleased to confirm that with an average of 70 days inventory, supply of vehicles is at normal levels which is especially important during the spring market when consumer demand is high”, said Allen Childs, President of Nissan Canada Inc.
