Nissan Motor Co.’s automobile manufacturing roots date back to the 1930s with the Datsun Type 15 model, Japan’s first mass-produced automobile. Today, Nissan produces 60-plus vehicle models—including electric, passenger, SUV, van, pickup truck, and commercial truck varieties—for regions across the globe. Models include the Frontier, Titan, and Titan XD pickup trucks, as well as Altima, Micra, Juke, Qashqai, X-Trail, GT-R, Pathfinder, Maxima, Rogue, Sentra, Versa, Z Roadster, and LEAF automobiles. Notably, Nissan says the LEAF is the world’s all-time best-selling all-electric vehicle.
In the UK, Nissan vehicles include the electric E-NV200 and NV200, NV300, and NV400 vans, and the Navara pickup truck. There is also the Nissan NT400, a light commercial truck available in single and double cabs and in 3.5- and 4.5-tonne versions.
Established in 1933, Nissan’s vehicle manufacturing roots date to 1914 with the production of the first Datsun model by the Kwaishinsha Co. Nissan’s history is also tied to Japan’s Jidosha Seizo Co., which was established in 1919 as the Jitsuyo Jidosha Seizo Co. and which manufactured three-wheeled vehicles designed by William Gorham, an American engineer who would factor heavily into the development and manufacturing of Nissan’s early vehicles.
Eventually, following various mergers, affiliations, and subsidiary creations, Jidosha Seizo took over production of Datsun vehicles in the early 1930s before transitioning into the Nissan Motor Co. in 1934. Although Nissan discontinued the Datsun brand in the early 1980s after 20 million vehicles sold, it brought the brand back in 2012.
