Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. launched Nissan Sustainability 2022, a plan to reduce the company's environmental impact, strengthen diversity and inclusion, and enhance governance, in line with the company's midterm plan, Nissan M.O.V.E. to 2022. This is the first time Nissan has announced a comprehensive sustainability plan, which pulls together all aspects of its environmental, social and governance initiatives into a unified approach. more The plan is anchored by the company's ongoing Nissan Green Program, which was launched in FY2001 with a long-term vision toward 2050. Nissan Sustainability 2022 will ensure the company is on track to deliver on these goals as it approaches the halfway point, while also expanding the company's sustainability mindset to include diversity and inclusion, as well as stronger governance. “Nissan Sustainability 2022 is fully aligned with our midterm objectives of delivering steady growth and leading the automotive industry's technology evolution,” said Hitoshi Kawaguchi, Nissan senior vice president and chief sustainability officer. “We believe sustainable mobility will help achieve a world with zero emissions and zero fatalities. Our plan, further enhanced by our efforts to be a truly diverse and inclusive company, will make an important contribution to that effort.” The plan is organized around an environment, social and governance (ESG) framework, criteria commonly used by investors who monitor a company's value creation. Environmental initiatives The fourth generation of the Nissan Green Program will be a key element of the sustainability plan, focused on addressing climate change, resource dependency, air quality and water scarcity. Key targets and initiatives include: • Decreasing CO2 emissions from new vehicles by 40% by FY2022, compared with FY2000 levels, achieved partly by increasing vehicle electrification. Nissan, the market leader in battery electric vehicles, aims for annual sales of 1 million vehicles that are all-electric or have electrified powertrains by the end of FY2022. Nissan will also foster deployment of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) systems globally for improved energy management; • Decreasing CO2 emissions from production and corporate activities by 30% by FY2022, compared with FY2005 levels, achieved partly by NESCO (Nissan Energy Saving Collaboration) activities lead by global experts; • Reducing use of new materials to 70% by FY2022, achieved partly by promoting circular economy of reused and recycled lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles; • Reducing volatile organic compounds in vehicle production processes; and, • Reducing water intake per unit in global production by 21% by FY2022, compared with FY2010. Social initiatives Nissan has long considered driving safety and corporate philanthropy to be the hallmarks of its social initiatives. The new sustainability plan will build on these commitments, while also focusing on diversity and inclusion. Initiatives in these areas include: • Setting the ultimate goal of reducing fatalities involving Nissan vehicles to zero, achieved partly by promoting increased vehicle safety with more autonomous systems such as ProPILOT, to be offered in 20 vehicles in 20 markets by the end of FY2022; and, • Increasing the proportion of female managers to 16% globally, and 13% in Japan by April 1, 2023, partly achieved by providing trainings on diversity and inclusion for all levels of the organization, and proactively implementing remote working and flextime policies to support diverse work styles. Governance initiatives Nissan Sustainability 2022 also includes improving the company's governance through enhanced compliance systems. Nissan has implemented a “three lines of defense” system, ensuring that more consistent compliance management and controls are in place. Further actions include: • Consistent communication on compliance messages in the workplace; • Compliance management system built and monitored by a dedicated team of experts; • Building a function to audit internal control; • Appointing independent, fully dedicated regional compliance officers who will be a key line of defense at the regional level; • Promoting opportunities for employees' voices to be heard and non-compliance issues to be resolved in an effective manner through • Nissan's SpeakUp whistle-blowing system; and, • Enhancing corporate governance with independent directors making up one-third of the board of directors.
The Nissan Color Studio is all about style, color and personalization. The all-new 2018 Nissan Kicks, with its roots tracing back to Nissan's Rio de Janeiro design studio's Kicks Concept car, is also all about style, color and personalization. It's only natural that the two get together with the launch of the new Kicks Color Studio. "As an affordable compact crossover – with a starting MSRP1 of just $17,990 – Kicks is designed to fit the needs of singles or couples looking for style, personal technology, smart functionality and advanced safety features," said Mike Soutter, vice president, Aftersales, Nissan North America, Inc. "The Kicks Color Studio adds an affordable way to further personalize the new Kicks, giving buyers the choice of adding just a few or the complete package of factory backed Color Studio accessories." more The Kicks Color Studio's lineup of 12 carefully curated accessories in a selection of five available colors takes personalization to a whole new dimension of bold – the perfect match with Kicks' range of seven exterior colors and five two-tone combinations. The seven available Kicks exterior colors include Brilliant Silver, Gun Metallic, Super Black, Cayenne Red, Fresh Powder, Aspen White (premium color) and Deep Blue Pearl. The five available two-tone paint combinations are (roof color listed first): Super Black/Aspen White, Monarch Orange/Gun Metallic, Super Black/Monarch Orange, Super Black/Cayenne Red and Fresh Powder/Deep Blue Pearl. The available Kicks Color Studio accessories – each offered in a choice of white, black, red, orange or blue – include: Exterior: Front lip finisher, rear spoiler, front and rear door handle covers, rear bumper accent, side mirror caps, rear hatch accent, lower door accent Interior: Rearview mirror cover, door sill protector, air vent rings, floor mats Wheels: Stand-alone black 10-spoke 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheel or black 10-spoke 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheel with color inserts (both wheels available on Kicks SV and SR grades only) Customers wanting to explore the Kicks Color Studio can go to a special configuration page that offers a full 360-degree of the Kicks with all colors and combinations of accessories. The cost of Kicks Color Studio accessories is not included in the MSRP and can be added to the Kicks purchase or lease costs and rolled into the payment of the vehicle. Dealer labor charges apply if installation is done at the dealership.
Following major enhancements for the 2018 model year – including a revised exterior featuring dark headlight treatment, dark tinted rear combination lights, a blackout rear lower fascia and redesigned 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheel design – Nissan's iconic 370Z Coupe enters 2019 with two new color themes for the 370Z Heritage Edition, standard auto-dimming rearview mirror with RearView Monitor, and the combining of the previous Touring and Sport Tech trim levels into a new Sport Touring grade. Also in 2018, the 370Z driving experience was enhanced through optimized acceleration and torque profile tuning. Without changing the engine's internal structure or components, engine performance was improved through careful refinement of Accelerator Pedal Opening (APO) and Throttle Valve Opening (TVO) angles. Manual transmission-equipped 370Z models added a motorsports-inspired EXEDY® high-performance clutch. The 370Z Coupe Heritage Edition package, added for 2018, again offers a unique appearance and is now available in three exterior colors. The previous Magnetic Black Heritage Edition (gloss silver graphics and yellow interior trim) is joined by the new Deep Blue Pearl Heritage Edition (black outside mirrors, gloss silver decals, yellow interior trim) and the Pearl White Heritage Edition (black outside mirrors, gloss black decals, yellow interior trim). The previous Chicane Yellow Heritage Edition is no longer offered. Click here to view the entire article.

With gas prices rising and the summer road trip season here, properly inflated vehicle tires are a must. Nissan's Easy-Fill Tire Alert feature relieves the pressure of worrying about perfectly inflated tires. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), four out of five consumers are driving with improperly inflated tires – too much or too little air pressure. With properly inflated tires, those consumers could save as much as 11 cents per gallon on fuel and extend the life of a tire by 4,700 miles. In the U.S., Nissan has sold more than 5.3-million vehicles with the brand's exclusive Easy-Fill Tire Alert Technology - about 21 million tires. As demonstrated in a recent video comparison, the feature allows underinflated tires to be filled to the recommended pressure in about half the time compared to using a traditional tire gauge. more "Ensuring your tires are inflated to the correct pressure is one very simple step consumers can take to help make their vehicles safer, especially with the start of summer road trips," said Sarah Cardinali, senior manager, Product Safety, Nissan North America. "Nissan's Easy-Fill Tire Alert takes the guesswork out of filling tires and makes simple vehicle maintenance less intimidating for the average driver." Standard tire pressure monitoring systems alert drivers when tire pressure is low. However, Nissan's easy-to-use Easy-Fill Tire Alert helps consumers quickly and conveniently fill their tires to the correct pressures every time without the need for a handheld pressure device or looking up the correct tire pressure numbers. How it works: • Park the vehicle in a safe location and apply the parking brake • Put the vehicle in park (automatic transmission) and the leave the ignition in the on (accessory mode) position with the engine off • Once air starts filling the tire, the exterior lights begin to flash to indicate Easy-Fill Tire Alert is monitoring the change in air pressure • When the correct tire pressure is reached, the vehicle horn will sound • If the tire is over-inflated, the horn sounds again and the hazard indicators flash three times, signaling the need to release some air In the current lineup, Easy-Fill Tire Alert is available on 12 different nameplates: Altima, Armada, LEAF, Maxima, Murano, Pathfinder, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Sentra, TITAN, Versa and Versa Note. Easy-Fill Tire Alert is one of many technologies that are part of the Nissan Intelligent Mobility vision – the company's approach to changing how cars are powered, driven and integrated with society. For more information on Nissan's exclusive Easy-Fill Tire Alert and the complete Nissan vehicle lineup, please visit NissanNews.com. Easy-Fill Tire Alert is not a substitute for regular tire pressure checks. See Owner's Manual for safety information. If the Easy-Fill Tire Alert is not working, use a tire pressure gauge. Tire Pressure Monitoring System does not detect a sudden drop in the tire pressure, as with a tire blowout.

Nissan's innovative ProPILOT Assist semi-autonomous driving system has been a hit with customers, with more than 120,000 vehicles featuring the technology sold globally. The availability of ProPILOT Assist is now set to expand to additional models, including the Nissan Rogue Sport in the U.S. and the Qashqai in Canada, beginning in late 2018, as Nissan CEO Hiroto Saikawa said today during the company's fiscal year 2017 financial results announcement. The Rogue, including the Rogue Sport, is Nissan's top-selling nameplate in the U.S. market. more ProPILOT Assist is a hands-on driver-assist system that helps drivers stay centered in their lane, navigate stop-and-go traffic and maintain a set vehicle speed and distance to the vehicle ahead. Nissan's exclusive ProPILOT Assist technology was originally introduced in 2016 in the Japanese-market Nissan Serena minivan. Since then, the technology has spread globally to vehicles such as the 100% electric new Nissan LEAF, the European-market Qashqai, the Japanese-market X-Trail and the U.S.-market Rogue. ProPILOT Assist will also be featured on the upcoming all-new 2019 Nissan Altima sedan. Additional vehicles will adopt the technology in coming years, expanding to 20 models and 20 markets by the end of FY2022, as part of the company's midterm plan, Nissan M.O.V.E. to 2022. "ProPILOT Assist is an iconic technology for Nissan Intelligent Mobility, Nissan's vision of how vehicles are powered, driven and integrated into society," said Philippe Klein, Nissan's chief planning officer. "Its acceptance by consumers has been beyond expectations, and we're pleased to expand its availability to more popular models such as Altima, X-Trail and Rogue Sport."
