Nissan is dedicated to ensuring that their customers remain safe and secure as they embark on their travels in a new Nissan vehicle. That is why they developed their innovative new line of Nissan Safety Shield Technologies, which all offer first-rate accident prevention to help stop an accident from happening in the first place, rather than only protecting passengers when they do. The brand decided to gain some expert opinion on these feature by inviting groups of  “highly trained and experienced subject matter professionals” to join them for a test drive demonstration of these technologies.
The group of experts included a variety of individuals that have all experienced first-hand the results of the type of trauma an automobile accident can to drivers and passengers. These experts include Firefighters, E.R. Doctors, EMTs, Paramedics, Police Officers, Physical Therapists, and more. All of these experts were excited to see that the brand has created technologies that work to help stop these types of traumas from happening,

CIVAC Plant in Mexico. This was the brand’s first-ever manufacturing plant to be opened outside the U.S. and it represented the brand’s goal to move forward in terms of standards, research, and innovation. In honor of the golden anniversary of this historic moment the brand recently held a big celebration to mark the occasion. Â
“Nissan Mexico’s manufacturing record numbers achieved year after year wouldn’t be possible without the sum of CIVAC Plant’s manufacturing capacity which adds to the extraordinary work delivered by Aguascalientes A1 and A2 plants,” said JosĂ© Muñoz, executive vice president, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. and chairman, Nissan North America, Inc.,. “Nissan Mexico completed an all-time record number in the automotive industry by achieving an annual output of almost 830,000 manufactured vehicles in 2015 fiscal year. Once our new manufacturing complex in Aguascalientes, COMPAS, starts operations, we will be in the position to produce one million units before the end of this decade.”

This is now the fourth consecutive year that the three organizations have teamed up for this cause and this year the recipients of the new home will be Nashville residents, Mohammed Berema and his wife, Khadija Aldom.
Nissan and the Heisman Trust kicked off the first day of construction with this year’s Heisman participants: Tim Brown (Notre Dame), Mark Ingram (Alabama), George Rogers (South Carolina), Billy Sims (Oklahoma) and Marcus Mariota (Oregon). The day before construction officially began, the five Heisman winners held a special youth football clinic at the new Nissan Stadium. The clinic included participation from 200 student members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee.
“Nissan has been active for many years with Habitat for Humanity in communities where we live and work, and our strong partnership with the Heisman Trust and its mission of building strong communities and service to America’s youth continues to be an excellent fit,” said Jeremy Tucker, vice president, Marketing Communication & Media, Nissan. “We’re grateful to these athletes for joining in this unique partnership to conduct a football clinic for area kids, and to help Berema and Aldom and their family improve their living conditions through home ownership.”
