CEO Carlos Ghosn says Nissan aims to boost its share of the U.S. auto market from 7.9% thus far this year to 10% by March 2017. When it does, he tells the newspaper, "We're going to need more capacity."

The company is erecting a second factory in Aguascalientes that is set to open late next year. Ghosn says that facility might make luxury vehicles for Nissan's Infiniti brands.
