TOKYO (May 24, 2006) -- Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., today announced production, sales and export figures for April 2006..
*Production

April
Nissan’s global production totaled 230,175 units, down 20.5% year-on-year as domestic and overseas production fell.

Domestic production fell 29.6% year-on-year to 87,518 units, due to lower output of the Note and March compact cars and the X-TRAIL sport utility vehicle.

April overseas production decreased 13.5% from the previous year, to 142,657 units.

US production dropped 19.6% year-on-year to 53,395 units due to inventory adjustments for 2006 models accompanying a shift to 2007 models.

In the UK, reduced production of the Almera compact hatchback and Primera mid-sized car, among other vehicles, pushed production down 18.9% year-on-year to 22,909 units.

Production in Spain decreased 28.3% to 13,303 units year partly due to a cessation in production of the Almera Tino compact vehicle.

In other regions, production increased by 23.7% year-on-year to 30,979 units with production in China jumping 88.8% to 20,589 units.

In Japan, Nissan’s registrations in April amounted to 34,679 units, down 27.0% year-on-year. Nissan’s market share amounted to 14.3%, down 3.8 percentage points.
Including minivehicles, Nissan’s domestic sales fell 18.5% to 44,008 units due to a reduced number of models. Sales of the new Moco minivehicle released in February, however, were especially strong.

* Japan Exports

April
Nissan’s exports in April declined 18.2% from a year earlier to 50,417 units.

Shipments to the US fell 16.5% to 17,287 units due mainly to decreased sales of the Infiniti G35 (Skyline in Japan).

Exports to Europe fell 33.2% year-on-year to 6,266 units, with local production of the Navara pickup in Spain from June 2005 resulting in fewer exports of Pickups from Japan
