Nissan's new advanced paint plant in Tennessee
The plant will use an innovative three-wet paint process that applies all three paint layers in succession, before the vehicle goes into the oven.
Previous processes required the vehicle to bake in-between the primer application and the topcoat layers.
Implementation of this new technology reduces energy consumption, cost and emissions while increasing production efficiency.

The new facility will reduce both energy consumption and carbon emissions by 30 percent
The plant is Nissan’s “Showcase Project” as part of the Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Better Plants Challenge, where Nissan has committed to reducing energy intensity in its three U.S. plants 25 percent by 2020.
