Nissan Opens 80,000 m² Logistics Yard in Aguascalientes

Nissan Mexicana is strengthening its logistics operations in Aguascalientes with the inauguration of the Nissan Internal Fleet Terminal (NIFT), a new 80,000-square-meter yard designed to optimize the movement of vehicles and components within one of the country’s most important industrial complexes.

New logistics hub enhances operational efficiency

The complex is strategically located between the company’s A1 and A2 plants in Aguascalientes and has the capacity to operate more than 260 tractor-trailers simultaneously. The infrastructure forms part of Nissan’s logistics modernization strategy, focused on improving delivery times, operational control, and overall supply chain efficiency.

Nissan Mexico’s logistics division moves more than 3 million parts per day, which are essential to vehicle production, and coordinates the shipment of more than 4,000 finished units to domestic and international markets. In addition, the Aguascalientes Parts Redistribution Center (APRC) processes around 80,000 parts per month for export.

The NIFT project was completed in one year and responds to the need to integrate logistics processes with greater precision and responsiveness. The new yard will also strengthen distribution to more than 230 dealers across Mexico, reinforcing the brand’s commercial operations.

Nissan strengthens in-house logistics and workforce support

One of the most relevant aspects of the project is that it positions Nissan Mexico as the first automaker in the region with its own internal transport fleet. This capability gives the company greater control over logistics operations and allows it to respond more quickly to market demands.

The complex also includes infrastructure focused on the wellbeing of more than 400 employees, with amenities such as a gym, sleeping quarters, showers, rest areas, lactation rooms, and medical offices. These conditions are designed to support workforce productivity and operational efficiency.

During the inauguration, Federico Markowicz, Director of Logistics at Nissan Mexicana, said the area represents a strategic component of the company’s operation because of its direct impact on customer experience and overall business competitiveness in the automotive sector.

With this investment, Nissan in Mexico is reinforcing its presence by integrating infrastructure, technology, and human capital into its supply chain at a time when logistics efficiency is becoming an increasingly critical factor for the automotive industry and for Mexico’s position as an export platform.
