The automaker stopped production at its 200,000 vehicles a year Thai factory on 17 October due component supply problems. The factory has had no direct flood damage.
The plant exports Nissan vehicles – including the March/Micra hatchback and Maxima large sedan – widely throughout the Asia-Pacific Japan. Production of the March for Japan was transferred to Thailand when the latest generation was introduced earlier in 2011. Thailand is also a key source of Nissan’s one-tonne pickup truck line.
