Nissan Motor Starts Production Of New March
Nissan Motor Thailand (NMT) has said that it has started the production for Nissan March, a global compact vehicle. Built on V-platform Nissan March powertrain features a 1.2-liter, 3-cylinder engine with an output of 79PS and 120g/km CO2 emissions.
The company said that the new Nissan March, officially launching on March 26 2010, will be the first model offered for sale under Thailand's 'eco-car' program, created to encourage the development of energy-efficient vehicles. It is also available with a five-speed manual transmission or an all-new continuous variable transmission (CVT).
Toshiyuki Shiga, COO of Nissan Motor, said: With an increasing vehicle population in Thailand and valid concerns about higher pollution levels in cities across the country, we're introducing a product that will have fewer CO2 emissions and less environmental impact.
“Very importantly, too, producing and selling the eco-friendly Nissan March in Thailand, as well as exporting it to other countries in the Asian and Oceania markets, will create jobs and contribute to the country's progressive auto industry development.
