Nissan is once again the winner of the ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Award – the automaker has received the Sustained Excellence Award again this year by organizations that are dedicated to protecting the environment by making their operations more energy efficient. John Martin, Senior Vice President, Manufacturing, Supply Chain Management and Purchasing, said: “Since Nissan became an ENERGY STAR partner in 2006, we have made continual improvements to our operations, which has helped us reduce both our environmental footprint and manufacturing costs. In 2014 those improvements reduced the amount of energy required to build vehicles by 13% – that’s the same amount of energy it would take to power more than 5,400 homes for an entire year.” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:

In the opening round of the 2015 Super Taikyu series, the Motegi Super Enhance was held at the Twin Ring Motegi in Tochigi Prefecture where the #24 accomplished a 2^nd place finish. The race distance for a typical round is usually three hours; however with the opening round set at 5 hours and the Fuji race scheduled to be 8 hours, the endurance races have been intensified. Tomonobu Fujii said: “”This being Motegi, a 5-hour marathon race [and tough on the brakes], even from qualifying we were concentrating intently on the car’s setup. We started the race in 2nd place and we were all careful to implement our drive according to the strategy that we had developed before hand. Even though this was the S-Tai debut for Hoshino (Satoshi), as well as his first time driving a GT3, he completely met our expectations.” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:

Nissan recently celebrated yet another milestone, only this time it was an accomplishment that took place in the United States. The Japanese automaker sold its 75,000 Nissan LEAF model in the U.S. to a family in Oregon. Rishabh Mehandru of Portland, Oregon was the lucky purchaser of the black LEAF, which happens to be his second LEAF after leasing his first one two years ago. “I’m a runner, and when I ran outside I found that I was inhaling a lot of exhaust from the gas-powered cars that passed me on the roads. I instantly became aware of the amount of fuel I was burning and that’s when I first decided that I wanted to get an electric car.” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:
