Nissan: Leaf plant damaged
The Franklin, Tenn.-based North American division for Nissan confirmed today that all employees who were on assignment in Japan at the time of last week’s earthquake and tsunami are safe and accounted for.
In a new statement, Nissan North America also said operations at its Oppama Plant, where the Nissan Leaf is currently built, is among those Japanese facilities that have suspended operations until Wednesday.
Domestically, Nissan reaffirmed that "all Nissan Americas manufacturing facilities remain operational and will continue normal production schedules until further notice."
The statement notes that “in general Nissan America is operating with a sufficient days’ supply of vehicle stock on the ground in the region or already in transit from Japanese ports.” However, Nissan notes that some U.S.-bound vehicles at a Japanese port were damaged during last week’s disasters.
