History of the Nissan brand

Japanese corporation Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. manufactures cars, commercial vehicles, buses, sports boats and other products. The Nissan administration is located in Yokohama (until 2011 Tokyo). Nissan dates back to December 26, 1933 – the date of establishment of the predecessor company Jidosha Seizo Co., Ltd.

In 1931, the first passenger car Nissan appeared. In June 1934, the company was reformed as Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. A Datsun, a subsidiary of Nissan, rolls off the assembly line in Yokohama in 1935. The mid-size model Nissan Type 70 and Nissan Type 90 buses are produced by the corporation in 1939. In 1947, the Datsun passenger car rolled off the assembly line again.

In 1951, the first Patrol SUV was produced, having a drive on both axles and a six-cylinder engine. The Datsun Bluebird is produced in August 1958. This model, for the first time in Japan, was supplied with a front brake booster and became a reliable and durable car for consumers. Starting this year, the Nissan concern begins to export its cars to the United States, and 4 years later to Europe.

In 1965, the sporty Skyline 2000GT-B model was released, which became a mass car of its time. In 1966, Nissan Corporation produced a compact class model Datsun Sunny 1000. In 1967, the Prince Royal limousine was created for the imperial family. In the mid-1990s, Nissan was in financial trouble. In 1999, Renault acquires a controlling stake in the Japanese company. The newly elected head of Nissan, Carlos Ghosn, managed to implement his program for overcoming the crisis, and the business of the concern went up.

In 1998, the automotive public got acquainted with the new Patrol GR, equipped with a six-cylinder turbodiesel engine with a volume of 2.8 liters. In 2000, the Hypermini electric car was created, designed for two people. In the same year, the ultra-small EV Hypermini goes on sale. In November 2000, the Bluebird Sylphy’s QG18DE engine was awarded Technology of the Year. In 2014, the Renault-Nissan alliance revives the Datsun brand.
