Re:Nissan Progress
In fiscal year 2025, the company made steady progress in executing the key initiatives under the Re:Nissan plan across three priorities – reducing cost structure, redefining product & market strategy and reinforcing partnerships:
- Made strong progress toward the 500‑billion‑yen cost reduction target, including 200 billion yen in fixed cost and 55 billion yen in variable cost savings.
- Advanced production optimization, with plans announced to consolidate the global manufacturing footprint from 17 to 10 sites. Execution across seven sites is underway, including production transfers.
- In R&D, achieved an 18 percent reduction in engineering cost per hour, progressing toward the 20 percent target without impacting projects.
- General and administrative expense reductions continue to progress as planned.
- Quality of business improving in the U.S. through retail-driven mix; driving Japan sales through focused launches; and a more targeted NEV-led approach in China, reinforcing disciplined market participation.
- Tighter inventory management, more selective channel strategy, and improved marketing precision are strengthening focus, aligning decisions to value, and driving more consistent delivery.
For Nissan, FY2026 marks the transition from building the foundation to delivering a structurally stronger business under Re:Nissan.
Chief Executive Officer Ivan Espinosa commented: “FY2025 marked a year of steady execution under Re:Nissan, where we strengthened our foundation and began to see tangible progress in our financial performance. At the same time, we set our long‑term direction with Mobility Intelligence for everyday life. We have moved beyond recovery and are entering a phase of growth.
In FY2026, we will build on this momentum through disciplined cost management and faster product execution, driving sales and profitability as we deliver our Re:Nissan commitments. At the same time, we will continue to evolve the customer experience in line with this vision.”
