Nissan has officially opened its R $2.6 billion (USD $1.5 billion) industrial complex in Resende, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, marking one of the largest automotive investments by any manufacturer in the country. This investment is part of an effort to achieve 5 percent market share and to become the number one Japanese automotive brand in Brazil.

The complex includes all facets of automotive production – from the stamping of sheet metal into parts to vehicle assembly and road course testing for the estimated 200,000 vehicles and 200,000 engines the complex will have the capacity to produce each year.
