About Nissan

Originating in Japan in 1933, Nissan officially entered the U.S. vehicle market with its Datsun brand in 1958. The first imported models included sedans and the compact Datsun 220 truck, which was presented at the Los Angeles Auto Show in 1959. Within the next two decades, the company became the top vehicle importer in the U.S.

Nissan Titan XD

In 1983, Nissan Motor Manufacturing Corporation (NMMC) built its first factory in Smyrna, Tennessee, and presented its first American-built truck. To help consumers get used to a new name, early models carried dual Datsun and Nissan branding. The switch from Datsun to Nissan in the North American market would last from 1982 to 1984, and was carried out as part of a larger global brand strategy.

In the 1990s, Nissan received recognition from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for its contribution to the development of green technologies. During the period, Nissan tested its first Alternative Fuel Vehicle and introduced concepts for an electric car. As for Nissan's trucks, the Frontier Crew Cab became the first pickup with four full-size doors. The Nissan Xterra and Pathfinder were named the official vehicles of the Los Angeles County lifeguards and left a mark in pop culture after being featured in the "Baywatch" TV series.
