Nissan and Brazil
Nissan is aiming to boost its profile in Brazil thanks to production of a few passenger cars in the South American hotspot.
Nissan’s plans include the production of two passenger cars: the five seat Livina and the seven seat Nissan Grand Livina, which is a seven seat vehicle. The production venture marks the first time that Nissan has chosen to produce vehicles in Brazil and represents a vote of confidence in the region. The car company hopes that expansion will be in the water in Brazil, as a growing market for their vehicles is emerging and new possibilities are coming along with it.
Nissan’s domestic rival, Suzuki, is also aiming their sights at Brazil. The company is planning to head into Brazil’s market again in October with designs on selling Japanese-made vehicles through a new distribution company. Suzuki’s goals are to sell 7,000 cars.
Brazil has become a hotspot for many Japanese producers as higher wages and cheaper credit have pushed up demand for the vehicles in the country. A major market for many international producers, Brazil is the new place to be for car companies with dreams of boosting their sales figures on a ready-and-willing public. Currently, Brazil’s car market is dominated by companies from Italy (Fiat), Germany (Volkswagen), America (General Motors and Ford), and a few Japanese and French automakers.
With Nissan throwing their hat in the ring in Brazil, things in the country could get very interesting in terms of automobile production. Nissan cars produced in Brazil are expected to sell well, however, and the population is more than ready for new opportunities.
