Nissan is cutting shifts at its Smyrna plant and offering buyouts to some employees. This is part of the Japanese company's plan to cut 9,000 workers.

Nissan will operate a single shift on one production line at each of its two U.S. facilities, located in Smyrna and Canton, Mississippi, according to Bloomberg. It expects to go back to a two-shift schedule when it introduces new vehicle models in 2027 and 2028. The production cuts impact the Rogue in Smyrna and the Altima in Canton.
