The coronavirus, which affects the world, seems to be talked about for many years with economic effects. This time, Nissan, which is known to automobile enthusiasts, joined the companies affected by the virus. Even before the spread of the virus, it was said that Nissan, whose sales and profits were said to have decreased significantly, was also in cash. The outbreak triggered a shrinkage in this process. There is no final sales target or officially announced date announced by the company, but various sources; He states that Nissan’s plans for restructuring by March 2023 should be based on the assumption that it can return to annual sales of 5 million cars. Again, according to the same sources, this will cause a big decrease in production capacity. The sales target is falling steadily: The 6 million vehicle target announced by Hiroto Saikawa, the current CEO of the company in July, withdrawing about 8 million vehicles targeted by former CEO Carlos Ghosn, caused criticism and comparison of the two names. Nissan has probably sold about 5 million cars in the past year, but this year’s target will be even weaker due to the worldwide outbreak. “For years, Nissan has been targeting around 7-8 million annual sales volume, but the company has never managed to make more than 5 million sales,” one of the sources told Reuters on the matter. Nissan now really takes into account the resizing situation, 2020-2022 “It predicts that it will have many consequences on its operations.” A third top company source said the figure could be even lower than 5 million, given the impact of the virus that disrupts car demand worldwide. It is said that the details of the plan have not been finalized due to the meetings which have not been finalized yet. According to rumors, the details will be shared in May. We will see together what information will be included in the official statement from the Nissan front.
