SHANGHAI: Nissan said today it is considering restarting production in China in its venture with Dongfeng Motor Group sometime after Feb 10, citing government guidance and its assessment of the coronavirus epidemic.
The Japanese car maker also said production in Hubei province, the epicentre of the epidemic, will start sometime after Feb 14.
The production plan is subject to change after reviewing the coronavirus situation in the days ahead, a company spokesman said.
Other carmakers with plants in Wuhan, including Renault, PSA Group and Honda have taken similar measures. Honda has not decided when its plants would resume operations.
The virus outbreak has killed over 420 people, spread around the world and raised fears about global economic growth.
