Japan's Nissan Motor is offering buyouts to workers and cutting back shifts at three U.S. factories, a company spokesperson said on Thursday, as the automaker pushes to slash $2.6 in costs globally.

Nissan will operate a single shift on one production line at each of its two U.S. facilities, located in Smyrna and Canton, Mississippi, according to Bloomberg. It expects to go back to a two-shift schedule when it introduces new vehicle models in 2027 and 2028. The production cuts impact the Rogue in Smyrna and the Altima in Canton.

Nissan is slashing production at its U.S. plants and offering buyouts to factory workers there as part of the Japanese automaker’s urgent efforts to return to profitability. The move is part of Nissan Motor Corp.

Nissan Motor Co. is eliminating a work shift at two US vehicle assembly plants and trimming its hourly staff via buyouts, a downsizing to align its output with lower sales volumes as it mulls a possible sale to Honda Motor Co.
