Nissan, a company founded 84 years ago, has just built their 150th million vehicle. The Yokohoma-based company took 57 years (1933 to 1990) to build the first 50 million, then another 16 years (2006) to bring the tally to 100 million. Since then, production took an aggressive climb, taking just 11 years to build 50 million more.
The largest producers of Nissan vehicles by sheer volume are Japan with 58.9% or 88.35 million units, followed by the US (10.8%), China (7.9%), Mexico (7.9%), UK (6.2%), ASEAN (5.8%) and Spain with 2.4%. Closer to home, Nissan and Tan Chong have assembly plants in Vietnam, Myanmar, and two more in Malaysia – Serendah (where the Almera is assembled) and Segambut. The latter facility started assembly operations in 1976.
Earlier in June, Carlos Ghosn, the board chairman of Nissan Motor, posited that the Renault-Nissan Alliance – now joined by Mitsubishi after a recent acquisition – may overtake Toyota and Volkswagen Group to become the global market leader this year.
As it stands, the Alliance’s sales figure for 1H 2017 has already surpassed them both, with 5,268,079 units sold from Nissan, Renault, Mitsubishi and Dacia. Nissan alone contributed 2,894,488 units, performing strongest in the US, China and Japan markets. The VW Group delivered 5,115,900 vehicles during the same period.

Lets talk about our local Nissan distributorship.
Tan chong,not surprisingly has been bleeding red ink the last couple of months.Why?
Absence of exciting new models.
Look at the Almeira….it is getting stale.THe saleable models are livina and x trail.Even the new Sylphy has been discontinued.
Meanwhile,Honda malaysia has been churning out the latest city,jazz,civic ,crv,hrv,brv and soon the Accord.
Bolehland carlovers like new and exciting cars.Tan Chong,u r too ancient to compete.You r going the same road as protong,if you dont stop the slide.
Nissan Leaf. Start booking
Err. What is protong? And Ekceli ETCM alredi sliding into oblivion even with jepunislord helps.
Meanwhile, in Malaysia, ETCM is busy sleeping. No sign of any new meaningful car models or even facelifts.
Nissan is not doing that well locally simply because TCM is not interested in bringing in the latest models or give the best specs to the local Nissan vehicles.
Meanwhile in Malaysia their best selling compact suv is not even available here. TC is uncle already, please give the throne to your child so that he can bring in more better car. It seems that you dont have any interest to upgrade Nissan here!
I’d grab the Qashqai anytime over the HR-v / CX-3. same goes to the new Micra over Jazz/Mazda2 !
Asyik Almera je. Bosan lah!
Any possibility for Nissan Qashqai in malaysia Soon?????
TC should bring in new models to fight with other Japanese cars.
