Train plant workforce to prepare for the increased demands of manufacturing next-generation cars; 10% of employees to be trained in the first year

Well that's a pretty pathetic attempt - it'll take ten years at that rate by which time technology will have moved on. In my line of work we're expected to be up-to-date all the time with at least a week's worth of CPD (Continuing Professional Development) being required to be undertaken per annum.

Reinforce Nissan as premium mainstream brand with wide appeal, building on Nissan's SUV heritage and leading performance globally, starting with the Nissan Kicks
Focus the Datsun brand on progressive mobility, with products offering high value to customers equipped with connected technologies


I'm not sure how many other places get Datsuns nowadays but is splitting the brand in India a sensible thing to do? I notice Infiniti isn't mentioned, another brand with a faltering presence - in the UK at least

Scrolling down to the bottom of the press release reveals links to model streams - so here we have Datsun:

... and a brand I've never heard of: Venucia!

Gloucester, I am going to put this information you questioned above under one post. The Countries where Datsun are sold or manufactured and just an overview on the US Infiniti Based Sales figures, which are not that good - Dave :)

Just to give you some idea of what this Indian Kicks has to offer here is a video highlighting the various design parts. As this video explains everything pretty well I thought I would leave out the details which are pretty well covered, just take a note as some are interesting. This Kicks is the model that is taking over from the stopped US Juke but with other Specs - Dave 😊
