Nissan to export 20 per cent of mini-vans made in India

-

As part of its strategy to make India a global hub for a range of automobiles, Japan's Nissan Motor will export 20 per cent of its proposed mini-vans to be produced by its Indian joint venture with Ashok Leyland.
"We will launch the passenger-carrying vehicle, or the mini-van if you prefer, some time next year. We will produce around 55,000 units. We wish to export 20 per cent of this to nearby markets," Nissan's executive vice president Andy Palmer said.
Palmer, however, said in an interview that since their 51:49 joint venture, named Ashok Leyland Nissan Vehicles, does not have dedicated factory of their own yet, these will be produced at the unit of another joint venture Renault-Nissan Automotive.

Finally, they understood what Indian buyers actually want from an automatic gearbox. Let me tell you why this is such a big deal. The Problem with DCT in Indian Conditions Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) is fantastic on paper. Quick shifts, sporty feel, excellent for enthusiasts.

The jerky low-speed behavior, the hesitation when you need quick power in traffic gaps, and let's not even talk about the repair costs if something goes wrong. I've seen so many complaints from DCT owners about transmission issues after 40,000-50,000 kms. Why Aisin Torque Converter Makes Sense Aisin is not some random suppl...

The Nightmare of a Broken Dream Car Imagine this scenario: You finally visit the showroom, eyes locked on your  dream car . You stretch your budget for the top-end model, book it, wait for months, and then, the day finally arrives. You and your family are ecstatic as you take delivery. But just  five days  after your purchase, as you head to work, your car starts... but the gear won't shift into Drive. How would you feel? You call a tow truck and skip half a day of work. The service center is supportive, but they tell you it will take time. They fix the vehicle, and you assume it was a minor glitch. Then, a month later, it happens again. And then again after six months. Each incident, though resolved by a supportive company, comes at a cost to you:  a canceled weekend trip, a frantic search for an alternative vehicle for a family wedding, and the slow erosion of your peace of mind.  You start questioning your expensive decision. This experience highlights a cruc...
