The first all-new 2014 Nissan Rogue has rolled off the line at Nissan’s plant in Tennessee. The first Rogue was also the 10 millionth vehicle to roll off the line at Nissan’s Smyrna, Tenn. plant. The shift of Rogue production to the United States is part of Nissan’s broader strategy to build where it sells. By 2015, Nissan aims to have 85 percent of its products that are sold in the United States produced in North America.
“Momentum continues as we add new products, jobs and investment to our U.S. manufacturing operations,” said Susan Brennan, Nissan’s vice president of manufacturing in Smyrna. “For more than 30 years, the Smyrna plant has been building high-quality vehicles, and today’s milestone serves as further testament to the flexibility, efficiency and talent of our U.S. workforce.”
Nissan’s Smyrna Plant now employs more than 7,000 people. The plant is home to the Altima, Maxima, Rogue, Pathfinder, LEAF and Infiniti QX60.
