The painting, which depicts the front of a Nissan LEAF, was created by maverick motoring artist Ian Cook of Popbangcolour. Usually seen working with radio-controlled cars, Cook was quick to accept Nissan's challenge to work on this super-sized project, using the full-size Nissan LEAF to spread strategically placed pools of glow-in-the-dark paint across the canvas with its tires to create the image.

Nissan’s Self-Driving Car Wins the Innovation Awards!

Nissan’s Self-Driving Car wins award and excites audiences at the Innovation Awards!

 

Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.'s Autonomous Drive technology has won the Grand Prix in the CEATEC Innovation Awards, the top prize. It was awarded by a panel of independent US journalists working in the fields of IT and consumer electronics.
 
The award honors the best among the technologies, products and services exhibited at CEATEC JAPAN 2013. The jury of journalists assesses the exhibits at CEATEC in a number of categories to determine the best by focusing on their potential impact on the U.S. market, meeting new consumer needs, functionality, innovation and if the technology, product or service exhibited offers a unique solution to new needs. It is the first time for Nissan to have won the award and the first time for an automaker to be given this accolade.
 
Nissan's Autonomous Drive technology also won the Smart Mobility, Special Award category.
 
The Grand Prix award was given with the following citation from the panel:
“Nissan's Autonomous Drive technology will greatly benefit future society by reducing traffic accidents and fatalities, preventing traffic congestion and contributing to a reduction in environmental issues through improved fuel economy.
Nissan revealed the advanced development of its technology in August when the company committed to being ready with multiple, commercially-viable Autonomous Drive cars by 2020. The system will be deployed across the model range within two vehicle generations.
 
Nissan's Autonomous Drive technology is an extension of its Safety Shield, which monitors a 360-degree view around a vehicle for risks, offers warnings to the driver and takes action if necessary. It is based on the philosophy that everything required should be on board the vehicle, rather than relying on detailed external data.

Car Care Tips Every Driver Should Know Courtesy of Mossy Nissan!

 

Tires Tip #1
Learn the importance of tire pressure
Proper inflation pressure in your tires is essential. Under-inflation can lead to tire failure and over-inflation can wear out your tires rapidly. Check your pressure at least once a month.
 Tires Tip #2
Check your tire alignment
Misalignment of wheels in the front or rear can cause uneven and rapid wearing of your treads and should be corrected by a dealer. 
 Tires Tip #3
Why rotate your tires?
Front and rear tires wear differently. Tire rotation can prevent irregular tire wear and help to extend the life of your tires. 
 Tires Tip #4
Monitor tire treads
Tires must be replaced when the tread is worn down to 2/32 of an inch. Traction, particularly in bad weather, and resistance to hydroplaning are reduced as tires wear.
 
 
 Wipers Tip #1
Why is wiper blade replacement a safety concern?
Reduced visibility accounts for 42% of collisions. Weather, chemicals, and usage will eventually wear the rubber on your wiper blades. Inspect your wipers' performance regularly and replace every 12 months.
Wipers Tip #2
Signs that it's time to replace your wiper blades
• Streaks on your windshield after use
• Cracked and brittle wiper blades
 
 
Battery Tip #1
Check battery health regularly
There are a number of factors that can affect your battery's life including weather, driving habits, and technology within your vehicle. As part of your complimentary multi-point inspection, your dealership should check the current health of your battery to prevent inconvenient failures before they happen!
Battery Tip #2
Ways to help improve your battery's life
• If possible, park in an insulated garage during cold winter months. You can also insulate the battery itself if you don't have access to indoor parking.
• Clean away grease, dirt and any oxidation.
 
• Oil & Filter Tip #1
• Why change your oil and filter regularly?
• Oil reduces wear and tear by providing a lubricating barrier between your engine's many moving parts. Friction, heat, and contaminants can cause oil to degrade.
• The oil filter can extend the life of your oil and your car by capturing contaminants and reducing engine-damaging oil sludge buildup.
• Oil & Filter Tip #1
• Why change your oil and filter regularly?
• Oil reduces wear and tear by providing a lubricating barrier between your engine's many moving parts. Friction, heat, and contaminants can cause oil to degrade.
• The oil filter can extend the life of your oil and your car by capturing contaminants and reducing engine-damaging oil sludge buildup.
• Oil & Filter Tip #2
• Signs that you may have gone too long without an oil change
• Illumination of your oil pressure indicator light
• Pooling of leaked oil under your car
• Odd noises coming from your engine
• Smell of burning fluids
• Low oil levels on your dip stick
• You can't remember the last time you had an oil change
 
 
Brakes Tip #1
Check your brake fluid
Check your brake fluid every month. If you need to top off fluid levels, only use a brand recommended in your owner's manual. Brake fluid can be easily contaminated when exposed to air, so don't use fluid from a previously opened container.
Brakes Tip #2
Ways to tell if you need new brake pads
• Less than 1/8 padding
• Grooves or rough patches on your rotor disc
• Metallic screeching or grinding noise when you brake
• Shaking or a feeling of being pulled to one side when you brake
• Increased braking travel distance can indicate worn pads and low brake fluid
 
 
Air Filter Tip
Why should you replace air and in-cabin filters?
Change your air filter regularly to help protect your engine. It helps to remove dust and soot from the airflow to help keep your engine clean. An in-cabin filter re-circulates cabin air and helps maintain the efficiency of your heating and air conditioning system. It should be replaced every 12 months or 15,000 miles to maintain proper air quality inside your cabin.
 
 
Interior Tip
How to protect your car’s interior
• Clean or replace your floor mats
• Care for leather or upholstery following your owner’s manual
• Consider purchasing a trunk mat or protector

NISSAN EDGES UP IN RANK IN THE TOP MOST VALUABLE BRANDS IN THE WORLD!

NISSAN EDGES UP IN RANK IN THE TOP MOST VALUABLE BRANDS IN THE WORLD!

 

Nissan has been named one of the world's most valuable brands for 2013, according to Interbrand, the world-leading brand consultancy. In the Best Global Brands Study, released by Interbrand, Nissan ranked 65, up from 73 in 2012. The leading brand consultant noted Nissan's leadership in zero emissions mobility, as well as the roll-out of Nismo badged performance cars around the world, and said the brand resonates with a broad range of global consumers. The value of the Nissan brand was estimated at $6.203 billion, an increase from last year's value of nearly $5 billion.

The ranking follows Nissan being named in June as one of the world's greenest brands for 2013 in Interbrand's Best Global Green Brands report. The Nissan LEAF is by far the world's best-selling 100% electric vehicle making the company the global leader in Zero Emissions mobility. Nissan ranked fifth overall out of 50 brands in that report.

"The power of our brand is a core pillar of our Nissan Power 88 strategic plan, which means that it's essential to our growth plan," said Roel de Vries, Nissan Corporate Vice President and global head of marketing, brand and communications. "These rankings demonstrate we're on track to achieve the ambitious brand power goals we set in our mid-term plan."

The Best Global Brands study is Interbrand's annual report on the world's most valuable brands. Interbrand's method looks at the ongoing investment and management of the brand as a business asset, taking into account financial performance, the role of brand in the purchase decision process, and the strength of the brand.

In this year's study, Interbrand noted Nissan's global, multi-channel approach with a consistent message of innovation, which it said was the DNA of the brand. The report noted that demand is continuing to grow for the Nissan LEAF and that stronger consumer engagement will help Nissan achieve aggressive business targets, build loyalty and energize new audiences.

"This year we've added some entertaining new elements as we begin another exciting season in support of the good works of the Heisman Trophy Trust," said Jon Brancheau, vice president, Marketing, Nissan North America, Inc. "With the online voting for this season's top Heisman candidates, combined with the fun of seeing past Heisman winners interact with each other, we're going to capture the attention of sports fans across the country."
In addition to the website, the campaign will present six vignettes directed by award-winning director Erich Joiner. This season's Heisman House features returning members Robert Griffin III, Barry Sanders, Ty Detmer, Ron Dayne, Matt Leinart, Troy Smith, Tim Brown, Carson Palmer and Desmond Howard. This year's spots introduce newcomers Sam Bradford, Earl Campbell, Tony Dorsett and Mike Rozier to the roster of housemates.
