Nissan delays the production of Nissan Navara and Terra

In response to the suspension of operations, Nissan implemented an extensive work-from-home policy for its office employees. However, Nissan's nationwide dealership network remains open but is taking extra health and safety precautions.

Since the Nissan Terra and Navara are both manufactured in Thailand, orders of the units may cause some unwanted delays. The Nissan group of companies in Thailand has five subsidiaries, including two production bases, 180 showrooms, and service centers.
