Can Foxconn save Nissan's struggling Oppama plant despite Japan govt's concerns? Talks on
Oppama, one of Nissan's key domestic plants since 1961, has an annual production capacity of 240,000 vehicles. However, its utilisation rate fell to just 40 per cent last year, well below the 80 per cent typically required to break even read more Nissan has no plans to exit the Indian market and is launcing three new products in 2027, said MD Saurabh Vatsa. Image courtesy: Reuters Nissan Motor is in talks with Taiwan's Foxconn to allow the electronics giant to produce electric vehicles at a Japanese plant that may face closure as part of the automaker's global restructuring, people familiar with the matter reportedly said. The potential collaboration centers on Nissan's Oppama plant in Yokosuka, Kanagawa prefecture, south of Tokyo. A source at Nissan confirmed the discussions to Nikkei business. The plant employed around 3,900 people as of the end of October, and local governments have expressed concern about its future amid Nissan's plans to reduce its final assembly factories worldwide from 17 to 10. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Partnering with Foxconn, officially known as Hon Hai Precision Industry, would enable Nissan to preserve jobs and lower production costs. Foxconn aims to produce its own electric vehicles at the site, while Nissan could improve the plant's low utilisation rate by outsourcing surplus production lines to the Taiwanese manufacturer. Foxconn has been aggressively expanding its footprint in the EV sector. In 2024, it took a 50 percent stake in a chassis subsidiary of German auto parts maker ZF. It is now exploring a joint venture with Nissan to use the Oppama facility, sources said. Oppama, one of Nissan's key domestic plants since 1961, has an annual production capacity of 240,000 vehicles. However, its utilisation rate fell to just 40 per cent last year, well below the 80 per cent typically required to break even, according to data from research firm MarkLines. Nissan's declining global sales have exacerbated the plant's underuse. Closing the plant could trigger significant costs due to potential layoffs and disruptions to Nissan's local supply chain. Many affiliated parts suppliers are located near Oppama. The site also includes essential infrastructure such as a research center, test tracks, and a dedicated wharf for vehicle shipments. Shutting it down would require Nissan to replicate these facilities elsewhere, further complicating its vehicle development efforts. Foxconn has been seeking a manufacturing base in Japan since announcing its EV ambitions in 2019. In May, it signed a memorandum of understanding to supply electric passenger vehicles to Mitsubishi Motors and is also arranging to deliver electric buses to Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus. Using Oppama as a base could strengthen Foxconn's ties with Japanese automakers. The company's behind-the-scenes interest in Nissan reportedly contributed to earlier merger talks between Nissan and Honda in December. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The Japanese government has expressed caution about Foxconn gaining influence over Nissan's management, but protecting jobs at the plant may help ease official concerns. Nissan is grappling with sluggish global sales and facing fresh headwinds from US President Donald Trump's automobile tariffs, which are expected to cut the company's operating profit this fiscal year by as much as 450 billion yen, or about 3.12 billion dollars.

Qubo Dashplay Ultra infotainment system review: Is it a value-for-money device for your car?
Qubo Dashplay Ultra is the flagship infotainment system of the company. Check Offers The modern car-buying experience is drastically different from what it was a decade ago. Gone are the days when cars were seen as just a means of going from one point to another. For the new age consumers, a car is more than just a vehicle for commuting or going places. Also, keeping pace with the evolving consumer mindset, the focus has shifted a lot to the in-car amenities and features. When it comes to in-car experiences, infotainment systems play a highly crucial role in defining that. Almost all the cars, whether in the entry-level segment or the high-end cars, have been experimenting with touchscreen infotainment systems. While the new cars arriving on the market come with pre-installed touchscreen infotainment systems from the OEMs, some of the cars' base trims and older cars lack these systems. Owners seeking to experience the infotainment systems in these cars have the opportunity to use aftermarket devices. There are tons of companies in the market that offer touchscreen infotainment systems. Qubo, famous for its range of dashcams, has entered the segment of aftermarket infotainment systems, with its Dashplay series. Available in three variants - Ultra, Pro and Standard- it challenges some of the big names in the market. HT Auto got the Qubo Dashplay Ultra touchscreen infotainment system to review, and here are our findings. Qubo Dashplay Ultra infotainment system comes with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Qubo Dashplay Ultra infotainment system: Design and user interface The Qubo Dashplay Ultra touchscreen infotainment system comes with a metal body that makes it sturdy. Speaking of other specifications, it runs on the Android OS and is powered by a quad-core 1.5 GHz Processor Ultra with an advanced GPU. The unit comes with 4 GB DDR3 RAM and 64 GB ROM. It connects with external networks via 2.5G and 5G dual band WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4. It offers wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. The head unit has a 9.0-inch 720p QLED display resolution, and it can play 1080p 30 fps full HD videos. Thankfully, one feature to mention is the adaptive screen backlighting. When the car is on the run or the ignition is on, the device automatically dims the backlight, which means the visibility of the driver is not impacted. This is one of the key functionalities that are lacking in many aftermarket infotainment systems. It has a split-screen display, which allows the user to access multiple features simultaneously. Qubo Dashplay Ultra infotainment system offers a flawless navigation experience. Qubo Dashplay Ultra infotainment system: Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay The Qubo Dashplay Ultra infotainment system comes offering wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. While we didn't test the Android Auto, the Apple CarPlay connectivity feature was tested thoroughly. The first time was the only time we had to go through the setup process, and from the next time onwards, the device connected to the iPhone effortlessly. The experience with the wireless Apple CarPlay was good enough to give it a thumbs up. However, it seemed that using wired Android Auto or Apple CarPlay is quite a tussle. If someone doesn't want to play music using wireless functionality and opts for the wired feature, he or she may find this problematic. In the car where we tested the device, the USB socket from the OEM was not compatible with the head unit. A separate USB adapter was required to be installed to ensure the OEM-provided USB socket received power, but even after that, it was of no use to play songs from a pen drive or the mobile directly. Instead, I had to rely on the Qubo-provided USB socket to play music from the pen drive. This was one of the challenges of using the infotainment unit flawlessly. Qubo Dashplay Ultra infotainment system: Audio quality & mic functionality The Qubo Dashplay Ultra infotainment system comes with TruAMP and a 48-band equaliser, which gets presents. The audio quality was good, and it supports a 4.1 audio channel with subwoofer support. Despite being an aftermarket device, the Qubo Dashplay Ultra synchronised well with the steering controls. Another problem we faced while testing the device was that the head unit didn't synchronise with the car's own roof-mounted mic. The infotainment unit has its own mic, but the distance between the driver and it is slightly longer than the distance between the OEM's roof-mounted mic and the driver. Besides that, the reception of the head unit's mic was also not strong enough for the person on the other end of the call to hear properly during phone calls. This forced us to install an external mic. It was a technical flaw of the device. Qubo Dashplay Ultra infotainment system has support for a 360-degree surround camera setup, which is a great functionality to ensure safe parking in tight spaces. Qubo Dashplay Ultra infotainment system: Dashcam and reverse camera support One of the key features of the device is the support for a 360-degree surround camera, which is a great functionality to ensure safe parking in tight spaces. With the increasing popularity of 360-degree cameras even in the aftermarket accessory segment, if anyone wants to install the system, this device offers compatibility with that, which is certainly a key USP of the Qubo infotainment unit. However, this feature couldn't be tested since the test car has no such camera system installed. The device also comes with support for full HD dual recording as well as a reverse camera. Qubo claims that for the reverse camera, the head unit comes with AHD 720p/1080p support. At ₹ 44,990, the Qubo Dashplay Ultra infotainment system is a great option for a car that lacks the infotainment unit from the OEM. Qubo Dashplay Ultra infotainment system: Verdict At a sticker price of ₹ 44,990, the Qubo Dashplay Ultra infotainment system is actually a pretty good aftermarket device for a car that lacks the infotainment unit from the OEM. The installation of the device may require a separate frame to ensure there are no gaps in the fittings. However, that may depend on the car the user has. Fitting the device is a one-time job, and if anyone wants to keep it for a long time and experience the convenience of wireless Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, the Qubo Dashplay Ultra seems perfect. However, it comes with some technical flaws, but that can be overlooked if the user is not too keen about every minuscule detail. First Published Date: 06 Jul 2025, 15:53 PM IST
