While Nissan sold 3.4 million vehicles last fiscal year, total calendar 2023 Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance sales volume of 6.4 million vehicles makes the group the fourth-largest vehicle seller in the world, behind Toyota at 11.2 million, Volkswagen at 9.2 million, and Hyundai/Kia with 7.3 million vehicles sold. Nissan's financial services subsidiary provides consumers with auto loans and leases but also finances Nissan's sales to its dealerships (known as floor-plan financing). Under a new alliance agreement, Nissan and Renault will have cross-shareholding capped at 15% voting rights for each company. Renault holds the remaining stake in Nissan through a French trust where the voting rights of such shares are "neutralized" for "most decisions" but retain the economic benefit.

Nissan Motor Co Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSANY#OTC">NSANY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSANF#OTC">NSANF</a>) revised its financial forecast, first made on Feb. 8, 2024,<a href="https://global.nissannews.com/en/releases/240419-02-e"> for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2024</a>.
The carmaker slashed its annual operating profit forecast to 530 billion yen ($3,428,268,430) from the previous guidance of 620 billion yen ($4,010,427,220).
This represents a 14.5% cut in the annual operating profit.
Nissan now expects an annual revenue of 12.6 trillion yen ($81,507,510,000) as against the previous outlook of 13 trillion yen ($84,091,775,300).
The forecast sales volume has been lowered to 3.44 million units<a href="https://global.nissannews.com/en/releases/240208-01-e"> from 3.55 million units </a>and net income is expected to reach 370 billion yen ($2,393,363,500) for FY23.
The revision has been put forward after a decrease in sales volume, various cost reliefs made to suppliers such as inflation, and other factors.
Nissan announced in March it planned to introduce 30 new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/03/37909805/electrifying-ambitions-nissan-unveils-plan-for-30-new-models-and-electrification-surge">models by fiscal 2026, targeting a global</a> sales increase of one million vehicles with improved profitability and electrification.
Of the 30 new models, 16 will be electric with the goal to reduce the cost of EVs by 30% by 2030.
NSANY Price Action: Nissan shares were down Friday at publication by 3.86% at $7.11.

Nissan Slashes Annual Profit Outlook By 14.5%

Nissan Motor Co (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSANY#OTC">NSANY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSANF#OTC">NSANF</a>) reportedly plans to adopt gigacasting, a manufacturing technique popularized by Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/38265084">to produce components for its electric vehicles (EVs).</a>
Nissan will utilize machines exerting approximately 6,000 tons of force to fabricate the rear floors of EVs slated for sale starting fiscal year 2027, reported&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-16/nissan-looks-to-tesla-s-style-of-carmaking-to-build-cheaper-evs?srnd=industries-v2&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bloomberg</a>.
This move aligns with the automaker&#8217;s goal to utilize innovative methods in reducing production expenses, thereby enhancing competitiveness in the burgeoning EV market.
By implementing this process, the company anticipates a 10% reduction in manufacturing costs, as per the report.
This strategic initiative forms part of Nissan&#8217;s broader agenda to achieve cost parity between electric and traditional combustion-engine vehicles by fiscal year 2030.
Gigacasting involves the use of large-scale machinery to cast entire chassis sections in a single step, eliminating the need for assembling numerous individual parts through welding.
This approach, championed by Tesla, promises significant savings in time, equipment, labor, and expenses.
As per the report, Japan&#8217;s&nbsp;Toyota Motor Corp&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) has also committed to adopting gigacasting, further highlighting its industry-wide appeal.
&#8220;We have been using casting boards for front air conditioner structural parts at our Tochigi plant for more than 10 years,&#8221; the report quoted Hideyuki Sakamoto, executive vice president for manufacturing and supply chain management.&nbsp;
Nissan is &#8220;quite experienced in casting car structures,&#8221; he said at the company&#8217;s plant in Yokohama, as per the report.
Price Action: NSANY shares closed lower by 1.31% at $7.55 on Monday.

Nissan Embraces Gigacasting Process To Bolster Its Efficiencies: Report

Renault SA&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RNLSY#OTC">RNLSY</a>) revealed a second transaction with its intention to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.renaultgroup.com/en/finance-2/regulated-information/press-releases/" rel="noreferrer noopener">sell&nbsp;</a>to&nbsp;Nissan Motor Co Ltd&#8217;s&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSANF#OTC">NSANF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSANY#OTC">NSANY</a>) up to 100.24 million Nissan shares, representing approximately 2.5% of Nissan&#8217;s capital.
This transaction follows the sale of Nissan shares on December 13, 2023.
The sale results from Nissan&#8217;s exercise of its right of first offer to acquire its shares after a notice from Renault expressing its intention to sell 280.7 million Nissan shares, representing up to 7% of Nissan&#8217;s capital.
Renault has the option to sell the remainder of the 180.4 million Nissan shares that have not been bought back by Nissan, during a 180-day period to Nissan or to third-parties.&nbsp;
The stake sale will be implemented as part of the share&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://global.nissannews.com/en/releases/240327-03-e" rel="noreferrer noopener">buyback&nbsp;</a>program announced by Nissan on March 27, 2024.
Nissan has also announced its decision to cancel all the acquired shares which will be accretive for Nissan&#8217;s shareholders.
The shares to be sold are part of the 24.63% of Nissan&#8217;s capital held by a French trust.
Assuming 100.2 million shares are sold at a share price of ¥593.4, it will result in a cash inflow of up to €362 million, which would improve the automotive net cash financial position of Renault.
Price Action: RNLSY shares closed higher by 1.93% at $10.02 on Tuesday.

Renault To Offload 2.5% Of Nissan Stake: Details

The U.S. Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has reportedly initiated an inquiry into approximately 454,840&nbsp;Nissan Motor Co Ltd&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nsany#OTC">NSANY</a>) (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nsanf#OTC">NSANF</a>) vehicles following reports of engine failures that could result in loss of motive power and inability to restart the vehicle.
The preliminary evaluation by the ODI involves Nissan Rogue, Altima, and Infiniti Qx50 vehicles, reported Reuters.
The decision follows six complaints regarding engine failures, power loss, and unusual engine noises, with some cases involving metal debris found in the oil pan of vehicles with the KR15DDT and KR20DDET engines, as per the report.
The report further added that Nissan implemented multiple changes in the manufacturing process over time to address the issues of main bearing and L-link damage or seizures in these engines.
The ODI&#39;s investigation may be expanded, if necessary, based on the findings and developments during the preliminary evaluation.

Mitsubishi Plans To Invest Up To €200M In Renault's EV Unit Ampere

This week began with UAW workers at Volvo Group (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vlvly#OTC">VLVLY</a>)-owned Mack Trucks also going on strike, joining the UAW&rsquo;s targeted strike against the Detroit Three automakers. Since walking out on September 15th, the strike against General Motors (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gm#NYSE">GM</a>), Ford (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/f#NYSE">F</a>) and Chrysler parent Stellantis N.V. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/stla#NYSE">STLA</a>) gathered 25,000 employees which make about 17% of UAW members, covered by expired contracts with the Detroit automakers. Yet last week ended with UAW deciding not to expand strikes at Detroit&rsquo;s big three automakers after a last-minute proposal that GM made.
<h3>GM Saved The Day</h3>
For the first time since the work stoppages began, the UAW decided not to expand the strike despite still not having reached a tentative agreement with General Motors, Ford and Stellantis. UAW was about to&nbsp;shut down the GM-owned Arlington Assembly plant that produces highly profitable full-size SUVs when the automaker&nbsp;agreed to include battery cell workers under the company&rsquo;s national agreement.&nbsp;Officially, because of being formed by joint ventures, the battery plants aren&rsquo;t covered by the automakers&rsquo; agreements with the union.&nbsp;Therefore, this revolutionary decision GM made&nbsp;will undoubtedly put pressure on Ford and Stellantis.
<h3>Mack Trucks Union Members To Join Striking Detroit Autoworkers</h3>
As announced on Sunday night, 74% of UAW members rejected a tentative deal that was reached last week by the union and Mack Trucks as they felt it was significantly short of what UAW&rsquo;s demanding in ongoing negotiations with General Motors, Ford and Stellantis.&nbsp;As of 7 a.m. on Monday, about 3,900 workers&nbsp;from facilities in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Florida are on strike. Although Mack Trucks is a separate company and a different part of the union compared to the section that covers members employed at the Detroit automakers, UAW workers were expecting similar increases and benefits as their peers.
<h3>The Strikes Are Harming A&nbsp;Very Lucrative Segment</h3>
The strikes already costed GM $200 million in the third quarter. With the walkouts and part shortages that idled production, they impacted the production of small and midsize pickups, as well as of SUVs.&nbsp;2023 has been named as the year of the electric pickup before it even began with Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) finally debuting its long-promised cybertruck. The strike also targeted parts distribution centers which means both dealerships and drivers could soon feel the impact.
At GM,&nbsp;Chevrolet and GMC midsize pickups, Chevrolet Traverse, Cadillac XT4, as well Buick Enclave SUVs and Chevrolet Malibu sedan were affect. The strikes also halted production of Ford-made Ranger midsize pickup, Ford Bronco, Explorer and Lincoln Aviator SUVs, along with Stellantis-made Jeep Wrangler SUV and Gladiator.
Yet, in West Seneca, NY, an automotive parts manufacturer is working full speed.&nbsp;
The tonneau cover specialist, Worksport Ltd (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wksp#NASDAQ">WKSP</a>), recently revealed it signed a long-term supply agreement for its&nbsp;hard-folding and soft-folding covers&nbsp;that could bring in&nbsp;$16 million in annual revenue.&nbsp;Worksport already has an order of $1.6 million for its hard-folding covers and another of $720,000 order for the soft-folding covers from the same customer.&nbsp;
More importantly, Worksport continues to develop revolutionary solar-powered accessories, the&nbsp;SOLIS tonneau cover and COR portable system that brought the attention of Hyundai Motor Company (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hymtf#OTC">HYMTF</a>) who will be getting a customized version of these power-on-the-go tools. Hyundai is the latest automaker to adopt the Tesla charging system. By announcing the news on Thursday,&nbsp;Kia, Hyundai and Genesis, all part of the Hyundai Group,&nbsp;but with Hyundai and Kia operating as separate companies in the U.S., have joined&nbsp;General Motors, Ford, Mercedes-Benz Group AG (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mbgaf#OTC">MBGAF</a>), Nissan Motor Co (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nsanf#OTC">NSANF</a>), Honda&nbsp;Motor Co Ltd (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hmc#NYSE">HMC</a>) and Volvo. According to figures from&nbsp;Kelley Blue Book, Hyundai, Kia and Genesis counted together make the second-best-selling EV manufacturer in the United States, right behind Tesla. Hyundai, Kia and Genesis sold 37,800 EVs during the first half of the year while Tesla sold more than 330,000, but this is still a big milestone for the NACS Tesla charging standard.&nbsp;
Catching up to Tesla who only continues to evolve is a daunting endeavor as the EV king is a moving target. The UAW strike will undoubtedly make it harder for GM, Ford and Stellantis to play the already costly EV game and cast a shadow on 2023&rsquo;s pickup theme.

Shareholders Back Nissan Leadership Despite Surveillance Controversy and Renault Deal Strains

General Motors Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) will reportedly pause production at its Fort Wayne Truck Assembly plant in Indiana, starting March 27 for the second time in a span of 12 months. All production will be halted for two weeks. 
What happened: For two weeks, production at the Indiana plant will be idled in hopes of balancing the inventory which is presently outweighing demand, Reuters reported on Thursday. 
While production increased over the last month, demand remained the same, leading to a surge in inventory, the report said. 
&#8220;Fort Wayne Assembly production will be down for two weeks beginning March 27 in an effort to maintain optimal inventory levels with our dealerships,&#8221; GM spokesperson Dan Flores told The Detroit News.

Why is this important: Until recently, automakers including Ford, Nissan and Stellantis were struggling with backlogs due to shortages of parts, particularly in EV production.
Semiconductor chip shortage rose due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, particularly in China. The Fort Wayne plant was halted in April last year owing to semiconductor shortages, which have been plaguing U.S. automakers for the last two years.
The proposed idling marks a shift from this industry dynamic; inventory is now exceeding demand, arising due to increased vehicle costs and interest rates.
Last Month, General Motors <a href="https://investor.gm.com/news-releases/news-release-details/gm-releases-2022-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-results-and-2023">said</a> it expects core auto operations to perform at a consistently strong level in 2023, with full-year net income attributable to shareholders of&nbsp;$8.7 billion-$10.1 billion.
Price Action: Shares in General Motors fell 4% to $39.24 on Thursday, according to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>.

<li>The data released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) indicated that production in 2022 was 40% less than pre-pandemic in 2019.</li>
<li>The main reasons for the depressed output were the crippling global shortage of semiconductors, which limited the ability to build cars in line with demand.</li>
<li>Also, significant structural changes, reflecting a loss of production at two volume manufacturing sites, and the impact of supply chain pauses in China due to Covid lockdowns played a key role.</li>
<li>On the brighter side, the battery electric (BEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and hybrid (HEV) electric vehicles&#39; volume rose by 4.5%.</li>
<li>Electric vehicles represented almost a third (30.2%) of all car production.</li>
<li>Since 2017, the value of BEV, PHEV, and HEV exports has risen seven-fold, from &pound;1.3 billion to more than &pound;10 billion.</li>

<li>The sharing of technology had emerged as one sticking point.</li>
<li>Uchida said the goal was to improve the automakers&#39; ability to compete during economic uncertainty and as the industry shifted to electric vehicles.</li>
<li>But, over the years, Nissan executives have had issues over the unequal ownership structure, with Renault owning 43% of Nissan and the Japanese automaker holding only a 15% non-voting stake in Renault.</li>
<li>As per earlier reports, Nissan considered investing in Renault&#39;s new electric vehicle unit, code-named &quot;Ampere,&quot; which will be split from its internal combustion engine business, code-named &quot;Horse.&quot;</li>
<li>The report further noted Renault also talked to Geely Automobile Holdings about the Chinese automaker taking a stake in its internal combustion-engine unit.</li>
<li>Uchida also said Nissan made contingency plans for the prospect of a global recession.</li>
