Nissan to Cease Operations at Oppama Plant by 2028
Nissan is closing its iconic Oppama plant as part of a difficult restructuring under CEO Ivan Espinosa, reflecting a complex mix of internal and external factors contributing to the company's challenges. The decision, while necessary for Nissan's future, will negatively impact workers and the local community, raising questions about leadership responsibility and corporate blame. Meanwhile, inflation is easing partly due to declining car prices, Tesla faces a trial over Autopilot claims, and Stellantis is regaining former employees after leadership changes.
