Nissan Canada (NCI) announced recently that it will enter the Commercial Vehicle (CV) business through a significant investment in North America. NCI will introduce three commercial vehicles in three years to the Canadian market, with the first of these products launching in the first half of 2010. Nissan has forged partnerships with Cummins for the engines and ZF Friedrichshafen AG for the transmissions.
"Globally, the CV business is a substantial part of Nissan's sales and profitability, and this vast experience and knowledge will be leveraged within the Canadian market," says Jeff Parent, VP of Sales and Marketing, NCI. "Our entry into commercial vehicles is a testament to Nissan’s vision for its Canadian operations and its commitment to addressing the needs of commercial customers in Canada.”
