 ZAMA, Japan (AP) - Like any auto plant, robots are whirring, swinging huge mechanical arms. Yet the assembly lines at Nissan's new Global Production Engineering Center are there for testing purposes only.
The nearly baseball-stadium-size building, shown to reporters Tuesday, is part of Nissan Motor Co.'s effort to work out possible kinks in production for the 30 new model launches Japan's No. 3 automaker is planning for this fiscal year through March 2008.
The new models are critical to Nissan's attempt to reverse its sliding sales, and the center's tests will be applied to all future global production.
