Nissan Motors was founded in 1933 and is today one of Japan’s (and the world’s) premier car makers.
A key feature of Nissan’s vehicles is the low-emission, economical engine technology called “PURE-DRIVE”.
Created out of concern for the environment there have been a large number of vehicles developed around this new system.
Of course, Nissan has factories all over the world, and its cars are popular not only in Japan but worldwide, making it a truly global company.
Now, the ICC has arranged for a visit to Nissan Factory in Yokohama.
At the Yokohama factory, cars such as the VR-engine GT-R, MR-Juke and YD-NP300 Navara are assembled using 3 different engine types.
You can see the characteristics of the 3 different engines and even visit the assembly line of the newest MR-engine.
Also, during the tour you can visit the “Experience Corner” where you can try-out various tasks workers do at the factory and experience how engine assembly has improved over time.
If you’re interested in how global companies operate, love cars and engines or just want to experience how complicated technology is actually made, please join us on our tour of the Nissan Yokohama factory.
