Drawings completed by children of workers from Nissan Brazil were recently turned into Concept Car sketches by Nissan Design America Rio (NDA-R). Back in October, the children created drawings depicting their idea of what future cars will look like as part of the “Automobile of the Future” created for Nissan Brazil’s Children's Day. Once completed, the drawings were then judged by NDA-R. A total of four drawings were chosen by the team, three winners for the best design and one honorable mention for a drawing that addressed the planet’s sustainability, one of nissan’s core platforms. The team then created actual concept car sketches inspired by these four winning drawings. The children whose drawings were chosen include: Karine, a five-year old daughter of a worker from Resende Industrial Complex Sophya, a 10-year old daughter of a worker from Resende Industrial Complex Gabriela, a nine-year old daughter of a worker from Resende Industrial Complex Nathália (honorable mention), a 10-year old daughter of a worker from São José dos Pinhais' Unity "The joy of working with children is the opportunity to deal with freedom from all restrictions," said Robert Bauer, designer-in-chief of Nissan Design America Rio (NDA-R). "There are no limits when it comes to the kids' imagination. As professional designers, we can see through the imagination of a child and realize what is possible. Kids allow themselves to draw anything and change the perspective. They don't think outside the box because they don't have this 'box.' There is something refreshing in working with the kids – the joy of life and their sharp sense of recreating the world are very inspiring. In all the drawings recreated in our studio, we noticed a concern with people, the environment and its preservation. It was wonderful to share our studio with them because they are our future, and they create worlds adults could never imagine. It is an experience that brings us energy and makes us rethink our concepts."

In 2013, filmmaker Luke Aker made a video featuring his 1996 Nissan Maxima that went along with a craigslist advertisement that he posted for the model. The video  went viral almost instantly, for its comedic approach at incorporating the look and feel of a luxury commercial with this older models in need of some serious TLC. As a result, the video's popularity grew so quickly that it gained the attention of Nissan Motor Co., who then reached out to Aker to purchase the vehicle. Afterwards, Nissan chose to restore the model and display it at the North American headquarters in Tennessee following opinions collected from fans on social media. “This Craigslist ad was hilarious and incredibly well done, so we jumped at the opportunity to pick it up and have some fun with it,” said Erich Marx, Nissan Director of Interactive and Social Media Marketing. “Thanks to an overwhelming response from the online community, we decided to do a full restoration to the vehicle, ultimately resulting in this playful video.” When the 1996 Nissan Maxima was fully restored, Nissan brought Aker back on board in order to have him create a second video outlining the unique journey of this model. In the videos above and below you can view the full story and see Aker’s videos “Luxury” and “Luxury Restored”. “Luxury” “Luxury Restored”

The U.S. Department of Defense has recently started a new vehicle-to-grid program being run along with the U.S. Air Force and the California Energy Commission at Los Angeles Air Force Base. In order to assist with this program, the Department of Defense will be deploying thirteen Nissan LEAF vehicles. The all-electric Nissan LEAF is the perfect model to be utilized for this program because its electric power source will make it possible for the power coming to and from the grid to be directed by the Department of Defense. This model is already being used in a similar program in Japan powering houses with the "LEAF to Home" power supply system "As the global leader in electric vehicle sales, Nissan is researching ways to integrate the all-electric LEAF into homes, buildings and power grids to unlock new value that could provide future benefits to customers, businesses and utility companies alike," said Toby Perry, director of Marketing for Nissan LEAF. "With projects such as the Los Angeles Air Force Base fleet, Nissan can gather valuable insights to ensure that our vehicles are ready when similar programs are deployed by utilities or other entities on a larger scale."
