Nissan to cut Japanese production of top-selling US model due to tariff

Nissan will scale back production of its popular Rogue SUV in Japan over the May to July period in response to new U.S. import tariffs, according to a source familiar with the matter. The move highlights how President Joe Biden’s 25% tariff on overseas-built vehicles is disrupting global automotive supply chains.

The United States remains Nissan’s largest market, accounting for over 25% of its global sales last year. A significant portion of those vehicles, including the Rogue, are produced in Japan and Mexico, making the company more vulnerable to trade policy changes than some competitors.

The Japanese automaker is expected to cut Rogue output by around 13,000 units at its Kyushu plant — Nissan’s largest production facility located in southwestern Japan. This reduction represents more than 20% of the 62,000 Rogues sold in the U.S. during the first quarter of this year.

As a result, workers at the Kyushu facility will see reduced working hours and several non-production days, although the plant will continue running on two shifts. Nissan plans to review its production plans based on how the tariff situation evolves.

That’s right, travel time between Gurugram and Vadodara is about to be cut dramatically to just 10 hours, thanks to the upcoming Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. The journey, which currently takes around 20–22 hours to cover roughly 950 km, will soon be completed in half the time-redefining long-distance road travel in India.

A major highlight of this project is a key tunnel near Kota, which will significantly boost connectivity along the route

and streamline traffic flow between the two cities.

Stretching 1,380 km, the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway is India’s longest expressway and is built for high-speed travel, allowing vehicles to move at speeds up to 120 kmph. With a massive investment of ₹95,000 crore, the expressway is poised to transform not only travel but also trade, tourism, and economic development across the six states it traverses—Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Maharashtra.

Beyond reducing travel time, the expressway is a model of modern, sustainable infrastructure. According to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), it features green technologies and eco-friendly construction methods, making it a benchmark for future highway projects in the country.
