Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., today announced its production, sales and export results for July 2007.

1.Production
Nissan’s global production in July fell 3.7% year-on-year to 249,267 units.

In Japan, total domestic production fell 20.9% from the year prior to 85,976 units. Production of the Infiniti G35 (Skyline in Japan) increased, but was partly offset by production stoppages caused by supply-chain interruptions from the Niigata-ken Chuetsu-oki earthquake.

Overseas production rose 8.8% year-on-year to 163,291 units.

In the US, despite increased production of the Altima, overall production fell by 11.4% year-on-year to 42,401 units.

In Mexico, models such as the Versa (Tiida in Japan) increased production, but overall production dropped 11.1% to 29,504 units, partly as a result of production stoppages due to gas-supply disruptions to Aguascalientes.

In the UK, the new Qashqai (Dualis in Japan) contributed to a growth in production of 29.9% year-on-year to 31,313 units. In Spain, products such as the Navara pickup truck pushed production figures up 13.2% to 20,551 units.

Production in other regions rose 47.3% year-on-year to 39,522 units, mainly due to increased production of the Frontier Navara in Thailand, the new Livina and Bluebird Sylphy in China.

2.Sales
In Japan, Nissan’s registrations in July dropped 15.9% year-on-year to 47,310 units. The new Dualis launched in May and Skyline saw strong sales, but failed to offset declining sales seen in the other models. However, domestic sales of mini-vehicles were up 9.9% on the previous year to 12,024 units. Including mini-vehicles, Nissan sold 59,334 units in Japan, down 11.7% year-on-year.

The company’s share of the domestic market fell 1.2 percentage points year-on-year to 16.5%, while the corresponding market share including mini-vehicles fell 0.2 percentage points to 13.5%.

Nissan sales in the US grew 1.7%* year-on-year to 87,877 units, boosted by increased sales of the Altima, Versa, and Infiniti G35 sedan.

In Europe, strong performances from the Qashqai and Navara helped boost Nissan sales to 48,100 units, exceeding the previous year’s results by 8.6%.

*5.9% after equivalent adjustment for actual days of selling in July.

Nissan’s exports in July fell 10.9% to 45,290 units year-on-year.
Exports to North America fell 7.9% year-on-year to 14,238 units.
