Their head offices are in the Ginza area of Chuo, TokyoChuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan. Nissan plans to move their headquarters to Yokohama, Kanagawa by 2010; the headquarters will start construction in 2007.Nissan used to be Japan's second-largest car company, after Toyota, but it has dropped to third in size after Honda.Due to financial problems throughout the 1990s (to the point where most believe an United StatesAmerican company in a similarly bad financial state would have ceased trading), the FranceFrench company Renault bought the controlling share in the company and installed Carlos Ghosn as president, the first non-Japanese person to run a Japanese car company (Mazda was run by an American, Mark Fields (automotive)Mark Fields—and by United KingdomBriton Lewis Booth — and Mitsubishi Motors CorporationMitsubishi was run by a German, Rolf Eckrodt). Under Ghosn's "Nissan Revival Plan" (NRP), Nissan has rebounded in what many leading economists consider to be one of the most spectacular corporate turnarounds in history, catapulting Nissan to record profits and a dramatic revitalization of both its Nissan and Infiniti model line-ups. In 2001, the company initialed Nissan 180 Plan Nissan 180, capitalizing on the success of the NRP. Ghosn has since been idolized as a national hero in Japan as a symbol of the strength of the currently ailing Japanese economy, with Ghosn and the Nissan revival story prominently featured in Japanese manga and popular culture. His achievements in revitalizing the Japanese company have been noted by Emperor Akihito, who awarded him the Japan Medal with Blue Ribbon in 2004. Nissan is also noted for being one of the world's leading manufacturers of Internal combustion engineautomobile engines, with its ''Nissan VG engineVG'' and ''Nissan VQ engineVQ'' V6 engines appearing on "Ward's 10 Best Engines" for 11 straight years - every year since the award's inception.
History - In 1914, the Kwaishinsha Motorcar Works !(快進自Ô 05;車工場,? Kaishin Jidōsha Kōjō), established three years earlier, in Azabu-Hiroo District in Tokyo, built the first DAT. The new car's name being the acronym of the company's partners' surnames:Kenjiro Den (田 健次郎 ''Den Kenjirō'')Rokuro Aoyama (青山 禄朗 ''Aoyama Rokurō'')Meitaro Takeuchi (竹内 明太郎 ''Takeuchi Meitarō'').The Works was renamed to Kwaishinsha Motorcar Co. in 1918, and again, in 1925, to DAT Motorcar Co. The next year, the Tokyo-based company merged with the Osaka-based Jitsuyo Jidosha Co., Ltd. !(実用自Ô 05;車製造 6666;式会社, ? Jitsuyō Jidōsha Seikoku Kabushiki Gaisha) (established 1919) as DAT Automobile Manufacturing Co. Ltd. !(ダットŌ 58;動車製 6896;株式会& #31038;,? Dat Jidosha Seizo Kabushiki-Kaisha) in Osaka until 1932. In 1931, the first DATSON—meaning "Son of DAT"—was produced. However, the last syllable was changed to "sun", because "son" also means "loss" (損) in Japanese languageJapanese. In 1933, the company name was Nipponized to Jidosha-Seizo Co. Ltd. !(自動車Ş 69;造株式 0250;社,? "Automobile Manufacturing Co. Ltd.") and moved to Yokohama. In 1934, Jidosha-Seizo merged with a fellow Japanese automanufacturer named Nihon Sangyo Co. Ltd. ("Japan Industry Co. Ltd.") who was popularly known as "Ni-San."The company became Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. !(日産自Ô 05;車,? Nissan Jidosha Kaisha) on June 1, 1934, and was founded by Yoshisuke Aikawa. For two years (1947 to 1948) the company was briefly called Nissan Heavy Industries Corp. !(日産重ð 37;業).? Like Hino and Isuzu, but unlike Toyota, Nissan partnered with a European company to gain access to automobile and engine designs. Nissan chose Austin Motor CompanyAustin of the United Kingdom, which later became the British Motor Corporation. Nissan began building Austin 7s in 1930, though the legitimacy of their license is debated. The company soon began producing a variety of Austin-derived models like the original Austin A50-based Datsun 1000. These designs were apparently covered by a 1952-1960 license agreement between the companies. Even after the Nissan introduced its own models in the 1960s, its engines continued to be derived from Austin's Austin A engineA- and Austin B engineB-family designs.In 1966, Nissan merged with the Prince Motor Company, bringing into its range more upmarket cars, including the Nissan SkylineSkyline and Nissan GloriaGloria. The Prince name was eventually abandoned, with successive Skylines and Glorias bearing the Nissan name - however, "Prince" is still used in names of certain Nissan dealers in Japan. Nissan would introduce a new luxury brand for the US market in the late 1980s called Infiniti.In the wake of the fuel crisis, Nissan became one of the world's largest exporters of automobiles and set up new factories in Mexico and Australia.The firm established assembly operations in the United States in the early 1980s, with a plant in Smyrna, Tennessee. This facility at first built only trucks, but has since been expanded to produce several car lines. An engine plant in Decherd, Tennessee followed, and most recently a second assembly plant in Canton, Mississippi. A plant in Sunderland, UK was added in the mid-1980s as the subsidiary Nissan Motor Manufacturing (UK) Ltd.However, financial difficulties in Australia in the late 1980s caused Nissan to cease production there.Nissan also produces cars at its factory near Pretoria, South Africa.The company's head office is now in Tokyo but will move back to Yokohama in 2010. Nissan North America will relocate its headquarters from Gardena, California to Franklin, Tennessee in 2008.
Products - Nissan has produced an extensive range of mainstream cars and trucks, initially for domestic consumption but exported around the world since the 1950s. There was a major strike in 1953.It also produced several memorable sports cars, including the Nissan Z-carZ-car, an affordable sports car originally introduced in 1969; and the Skyline GT-R, a powerful all-wheel-drive sports coupe. Unfortunately, Nissan has been reluctant to sell most Skylines outside of Japan. Even still though, used imports of the sportier GTS and GT-R coupes have become popular in other right-hand-drive countries like Australia. In 1985, Nissan created a tuning division, ''NISMO'', for competition and performance development of such cars.Nissan sells its luxury models in North America under the Infiniti brand.Nissan also sells a small range of keicars, mainly as a joint venture with other Japanese manufacturers like Suzuki or Mitsubishi Motors CorporationMitsubishi. Nissan does not develop these cars.
Non-Automobile Products - Nissan has also had a number of ventures outside the automotive industry, most notably the Tu-Ka mobile phone service (est. 1994), which was sold to DDI and Japan Telecom (both now merged into KDDI Corporation) in 1999. Nissan also owns Nissan Marine, a joint venture with Marubeni Corporation that produces motors for boats and other maritime equipment.
