Japan: Nissan to build electric vehicles at Oppama Plant
Nissan Motor Co., Ltd today announced the company will produce electric vehicles (EV) at its Oppama Plant (Natsushima-cho, Yokosuka City, Kanagawa) from autumn 2010.
The Oppama Plant is a core base of Nissan's manufacturing and will be positioned as the model plant for best practices in EV production.
In the autumn of 2010, the plant will start EV production with capacity of 50,000 units a year, which will continuously increase for the start of EV mass-marketing in 2012.
Motors and inverters, which are key components of EVs, will be built at the Yokohama Plant (Takara-cho, Kanagawa-ku, Yokohama City, Kanagawa), and initially in the Zama Operations Center (Hironodai, Zama City, Kanagawa), respectively.
In addition, Automotive Energy Supply Corporation (AESC), one of Nissan's affiliated companies based in Zama Operations Center, will produce laminated-type compact lithium-ion batteries for EVs.
