Summary

Nissan Adds Third Shift

Chairman Christian Meunier said U.S. output could rise to about 1 million units annually from 487,000 in 2025.
Nissan targets producing 80 % of U.S. sales domestically by 2030 without building a new plant.
Gasoline prices near $4.50 per gallon are driving heightened hybrid demand, according to AAA.

History

Historical Context

Toyota introduced the Prius in December 1997, the first mass-produced gasoline-electric hybrid, sparking worldwide interest in hybrid powertrains. By mid-2013 the Prius family had sold about 1.5 million units in the United States and over 5 million globally, becoming the benchmark for later models. Nissan’s 2027 Rogue Hybrid follows that legacy, aiming for one million U.S. sales annually as domestic production expands.
