Honda eyes pick-up production at underused US Nissan plant

Nissan has entered discussions to manufacture pick-ups for Honda at its Canton, Mississippi facility, which currently operates at just 57% capacity compared to the 80% threshold typically needed to break even, according to Nikkei. The potential arrangement would allow Honda to expand its pick-up lineup beyond compact models, while also helping Nissan boost production at the underutilised plant, as pressure mounts from President Trump’s looming tariffs on non-US-made vehicles.
