Many of our team members joined Nissan without prior automotive production expertise. They received training and the opportunity to build careers that support their families and contribute to their communities.

Nissan assembles some of the most legendary products in the industry.
The process starts in our three manufacturing facilities in Smyrna and Decherd, Tennessee, and in Canton, Mississippi. Nissan's cutting-edge electric vehicle technology drives the future of automotive innovation.
Steel to Wheels
Before a vehicle goes on the assembly line, the New Model Team uses 3D technology (think airline pilot in a flight simulator) and virtual reality tools to evaluate the ergonomics and placement of auto parts during manufacturing. The goal is to use technology to help assemble vehicles safely and consistently.
From stamping to final inspection, it takes an average of 20 hours to build* one vehicle.
