Nissan must be thinking the same way.
Nissan built a plant just north of Jackson, Mississippi. I passed there recently but didn't think to check the odometer. That plant seems like it is about one mile long on the east side of I - 55.
Does anyone know how many Mississippians Nissan employees?
Don’t know. The nissan plant in nashville is over a million square feet under one roof. They build sedans and mid size trucks. They share chassis, engines and transmissions. When demand for trucks lets off, they shift the production line to sedans and same for the reverse. Very clean plant as well.
