Nissan to cut production, temporary workers

TOKYO – Japan's Nissan Motor Co. said Wednesday it would reduce production by a further 78,000 vehicles and cut 500 temporary workers.

The cuts were being made to avoid a build up of excess inventory as car sales slow globally, Nissan said in a statement.

The carmaker said the workers will be cut from January to March of next year. It will also temporarily halt production at several domestic car and engine factories from January.

Nissan has cut production by a total of about 225,000 vehicles over the last year, 16 percent of its initial production forecast for 1.388 million vehicles in the current fiscal year through March.

Other Japanese carmakers such as Toyota and Suzuki have also cut production and temporary workers.

Nissan shares sank 4.1 percent to 302 yen Wednesday, while the Nikkei 225 stock average finished slightly higher.

日產汽車宣布再減產7.8萬輛 派遣員工全裁
中央社 更新日期:2008/12/17 16:48

(中央社記者楊明珠東京17日專電)日本第三大汽車製造廠日產汽車今天宣布,到明年3月底為止,日本國內廠的汽車再減產7萬8000輛。派遣員工再裁500人。就此,今年度原有的2000名派遣員工全被裁光。

日產今天宣布,到明年3月底為止,在日本國內的汽車生產數再減產7萬8000輛。就此,今年度(4月1日起的會計年度)減產幅度共達22萬5000輛。

另外,日產也宣布,國內直營工廠的派遣員工追加裁員500人。就此,原本在今年4月還有2000名的派遣員工,等於是全部被解雇。

全球經濟惡化速度超快,日產生產銷往歐美的SUV(運動用多用途車)車的九州廠(位於福岡縣)及生產銷往北美的高級車「infiniti(極致無限)」的橡木廠(位於橡木縣)9月起已開始減產7萬5000輛。

最近,中國等新興國或中東的汽車銷售低迷,日產認為應儘速「出清存貨」,所以這次決定追加減產。生產小型車「March」的追濱廠(神奈川縣橫濱市)受到影響。

從今年秋天以來,日本國內的汽車業減產規模已超過210萬輛,已被宣布裁撤的派遣員工或定期約聘員工人數,光是日本國內就超過1萬2000人。
