SMYRNA, Tenn. (AP) - Nissan North America Incorporated will
build a midsize pickup truck for Suzuki Motor Corporation at
Nissan's plant southeast of Nashville starting next year.
Nissan says there are no current plans to add employees for the
Suzuki line.
The companies said in statements today that the pickup will be
based on Nissan's Frontier midsize pickup and will be solely
marketed by Suzuki in North America.
Preparations are under way to ready the Nissan plant, in Smyrna.
In 2006, the Japanese automakers announced an agreement to
expand the scope of a deal that also included Suzuki supplying
Nissan Alto minicars in Japan.
Nissan's North American headquarters is in Nashville.
The news comes on the same day Suzuki officials announced plans
to build a new compact hatchback in India that will be sold
worldwide.
