Japanese automaker Nissan has laid the first stone at its new $2 billion plant in Mexico, where it expects to increase production to more than 1 million units annually.
"The new Aguascalientes complex underscores the objectives set forth by Nissan's global strategy, Nissan Power 88, including a target global market share of 8 percent. The increase of manufacturing capacity for an operation that has already proven its leadership will enable us to deliver more innovative vehicles for markets that are clamoring for them," Nissan Americas vice chairman Bill Krueger said.
