SHERIDAN, WYOMING – October 12, 2024 – Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. announces today that its Tochigi Plant Guest Hall in Tochigi Prefecture has reopened following a significant renovation.
The Tochigi Plant has welcomed more than 2.43 million visitors since 1974, primarily elementary school students. In 2005, a new guest hall was established to house information about the plant's operations, showcasing technology and the Nissan brand through car displays and events.
The renovations to the hall are aimed to provide visitors with a more immersive experience of Nissan's manufacturing. On entering, visitors are welcomed by a display of the latest vehicles produced at the plant.
Displays explain how cars are manufactured, focusing on safety and the environment, across five processes: pressing, body welding, painting, assembly, and inspection. Videos and parts displays produce an easy-to-understand tour for all ages, with interactive content and experiential exhibits enabling visitors to see, touch, and experience.
Tochigi Plant is the first of Nissan's vehicle manufacturing bases where the Nissan Intelligent Factory concept has been implemented. The concept supports next-generation car-making through innovative production technologies while contributing to achieving carbon neutrality. At the Tochigi Plant Guest Hall, visitors can also gain an understanding of this advanced car manufacturing concept.
