Daimler CEO Zetsche smiles during the first press day ahead of the 85th International Motor Show in Geneva

Nissan recently revealed that it would expand its cooperation with partner Mercedes-Benz to build a new mid-sized pickup truck for the German automaker. This new pickup truck will target commercial and private clients in Europe, Latin America, Australia and South Africa, and will share some of the underpinnings with an-all Nissan NP300 truck. Daimler Chief Executive Dieter Zetsche said: “Entering the rapidly growing segment of midsize pickups is an important step in continuing our global growth path.” Mercedes-Benz said that the upcoming truck will be built by Nissan in Argentina and in the Nissan plant in Barcelona; the Barcelona plant will produce about 120,000 vehicles annually for the three partners, while the Cordoba plant will produce nearly 70,000 vehicles a year.

Nissan 2 second place

In the opening round of the 2015 Super Taikyu series, the Motegi Super Enhance was held at the Twin Ring Motegi in Tochigi Prefecture where the #24 accomplished a 2nd place finish. The race distance for a typical round is usually three hours; however with the opening round set at 5 hours and the Fuji race scheduled to be 8 hours, the endurance races have been intensified. Tomonobu Fujii said: “”This being Motegi, a 5-hour marathon race [and tough on the brakes], even from qualifying we were concentrating intently on the car’s setup. We started the race in 2nd place and we were all careful to implement our drive according to the strategy that we had developed before hand. Even though this was the S-Tai debut for Hoshino (Satoshi), as well as his first time driving a GT3, he completely met our expectations.” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:

Nissan delivers 75,000th all-electric LEAF in the U.S.

Nissan recently celebrated yet another milestone, only this time it was an accomplishment that took place in the United States. The Japanese automaker sold its 75,000 Nissan LEAF model in the U.S. to a family in Oregon. Rishabh Mehandru of Portland, Oregon was the lucky purchaser of the black LEAF, which happens to be his second LEAF after leasing his first one two years ago. “I’m a runner, and when I ran outside I found that I was inhaling a lot of exhaust from the gas-powered cars that passed me on the roads. I instantly became aware of the amount of fuel I was burning and that’s when I first decided that I wanted to get an electric car.” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:
