Nissan significantly expands its online news release archive
Nissan’s Global Newsroom was launched in 1999 to provide information on Nissan’s corporate activities, new products and new technologies. Until now, only news releases issued after the website’s launch were archived there. News releases issued before 1999 in both Japanese and English were compiled into physical reference books and stored in-house.
Nissan has now scanned and digitized all its existing pre-1999 releases and made them available on the newsroom as PDFs of the original print versions, complete with old logos, diagrams and data tables. This archive provides information on the products, technologies and various business activities that Nissan created in its spirit of “Dare to do what others don’t.”
The Japanese releases cover the period from 1961 — when Nissan’s communication department was established — to 1999. The English versions cover the period from 1963 to 1999.
Nissan plans to further enrich information on the site with the addition of photos from Nissan’s collection, including those used at the time of the news releases and related shots of vehicles.
