Nissan said it would close seven factories and cut a further 11,000 jobs, taking total announced cuts to 20,000.
About the figure: Headline figure is 20,000 but that includes the 9,000 already recorded as nissan-2024-11; count is the 11,000 new cuts to avoid double counting. The 15% is the combined share, so percent is left null.
