Melbourne, Australia – In yet another Australian manufacturing success story for Nissan Casting Australia Plant, every example of the new Y63 Patrol features a final drive differential housing made at Nissan’s Australian factory in Dandenong South, Victoria.
In a true case of from Australia to the world, Australian Made parts feature in the Y63 Patrol and vehicles sold in a host of countries and regions, including the USA, Canada, Egypt, Cambodia, Africa, the Middle East and more.
“We are proud to announce that the Nissan Casting Australia Plant is producing crucial parts for the brand’s 4WD flagship, the Y63 Nissan Patrol, which is currently sold in left-hand drive global markets and will be available to order in Australia in 2026” says Andrew Humberstone, Managing Director of Nissan Oceania.
“It means that the Y63 Nissan Patrol isn’t just made for Australia, but partly made in Australia as well.”
Now in its 43rd year, Nissan Casting Australia Plant is home to almost 200 staff working to produce 1.2 million examples of 25 different components for Nissan markets around the world every year.
“Nissan Casting Australia Plant is a success story for the Australian automotive manufacturing space,” says Markus Spindler, the Plant Manager for Nissan Casting Australia Plant.
“But it’s not all about global output. The Nissan Casting Australia Plant team is also responsible for producing some 16,000 Nissan Genuine Accessory tow bars for Australia and New Zealand.”
The next-generation Y63 Nissan Patrol was unveiled in Abu Dhabi in September 2024, featuring a striking new design, a powerful V6 twin-turbo engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission and customisable adaptive air suspension for enhanced all-terrain capability.
It is set to deliver a superior driving experience, complemented by exceptional comfort in a premium cabin, when orders open in Australia in late 2026.
