Nissan May Build Honda Trucks in U.S. Plant as Tariff Pressure Mounts
CANTON, MISSISSIPPI, JUL 11 – Nissan aims to increase factory utilization by producing Honda-branded pickups at its underused Canton plant amid U.S. tariff challenges, with capacity at just 57%, sources said.
- On July 12, 2025, reports stated Nissan may build Honda pickup trucks at its Canton, Mississippi plant for the U.S. market.
- This potential collaboration arose after Nissan and Honda ended merger talks earlier this year amid tariff pressures and financial struggles.
- Nissan faces massive losses, a $4.5 billion net loss last fiscal year, and underutilized U.S. plants, while Honda seeks to expand its small pickup segment.
- Nissan will produce trucks sold under the Honda brand, possibly based on Nissan's body-on-frame platform, which could improve profitability for both automakers.
- Though no decisions have been made and both companies said they have nothing to announce, this strategic move could boost Nissan's factory use and Honda's U.S. product lineup.
