Nissan Donates To Habitat for Humanity
Giving back to the community is something that Nissan takes very seriously. Now in its second decade of partnering with Habitat for Humanity, Nissan is proud to say that they have donated more than $14 million and countless volunteer hours.
“We thank Nissan for continuing to give back to communities across the country,” said Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International. “We are grateful for their long-term support and commitment to help families build strength, stability and self-reliance.”
Last week, Nissan donated another $1 million to the cause to help expand Habitat for Humanity’s vehicle fleet and to help build new homes in the areas where Nissan has an operational presence, including Tennessee, California, Michigan, and Mississippi.
“Nissan values its partnership with Habitat for Humanity because it delivers strong results each year in building sustainable communities in the areas where our employees live and work,” said Nissan vice president Rebecca Vest. “Our employees look forward to working alongside future homeowners, and their experiences affirm our corporate mission to enrich people’s lives.”

Meet the First Solid-Oxide Fuel Cell Vehicle
Nissan’s ongoing commitment to the development of zero-emission vehicles has led to the development of the first Solid Oxide Fuel-Cell (SOFC)-powered prototype. This vehicle runs on 100% bio-ethanol electric power which charges a 24kWh battery and enables a range of up to 600km. The energy-generating components of this vehicle are clean, very efficient, and produce carbon-neutral emissions.
Just like the BladeGlider we talked about in the last blog, the SOFC-powered vehicle was unveiled at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro where it will undergo further field tests on public roads.
Nissan president and CEO Carlos Ghosn said: “The e-Bio Fuel-Cell offers eco-friendly transportation and creates opportunities for regional energy production…all the while supporting the existing infrastructure. In the future, the e-Bio Fuel-Cell will become even more user-friendly. Ethanol-blended water is easier and safer to handle than most other fuels. Without the need to create new infrastructure, it has great potential to drive market growth.”

Meet the Nissan BladeGlider
The Olympics aren’t the only exciting thing happening in Rio de Janeiro this month. Last week, Nissan unveiled two new vehicle prototypes, one of which was the Nissan BladeGlider. The unveiling took place at the Museu do Amanhã (Museum of Tomorrow) as part of Nissan’s Intelligent Mobility strategy.
The Nissan BladeGlider is a 100% electric sports car and will contribute to the zero-emissions future that Nissan is working towards. Features of the BladeGlider include an advanced chassis configuration with a narrow front track and wider rear track for optimum aerodynamic efficiency and handling stability, high-waisted/rear-hinged dihedral doors, an open roof that is reinforced with an integrated rollover protection structure, seamless cockpit windscreen providing panoramic views, four point safety harness for each occupant, and a two-screen central display.
Unfortunately, this innovative vehicle is only a working prototype but if Nissan has their way it will be much more than that in the future.
Carlos Ghosn, president and chief executive officer, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. said: “These prototypes epitomize Nissan’s drive to expand its Intelligent Mobility strategy, where driving pleasure combines with environmental responsibility. Nissan believes that enthusiasts should look forward to a zero emission future and Nissan BladeGlider is a perfect demonstration of that. It’s the electric vehicle for car lovers.”

2017 Nissan Maxima Page To Be Released
The “four-door sports car” is now officially available here at Tynan’s Nissan Fort Collins and we look forward to seeing you here at our dealership to set up a test drive. We are, of course, talking about the 2017 Nissan Maxima and we are sure that you will find this vehicle to be fun and exciting when you get behind the wheel and take it out for a spin. If you prefer to research a vehicle before taking it out for a test drive then we want to let you know that we will soon be releasing a Research & Review age featuring this all-new model. Keep your eye out for the release of this new page to learn more about the details of this vehicle such as trim levels, safety features, performance capabilities, and much more.
Welcome Nissan ProPilot
Nissan has taken the initial step towards autonomous driving. “ProPilot” will be debuted in Japan in an upcoming model and will allow drivers to engage in nearly hands-free driving.
Along with controlling braking, steering, and acceleration automatically, the ProPilot uses a camera and image-processing technology to recognize other vehicles and lane markers on the road. The technology can be engaged when the speed of the vehicle is between 19 and 62 MPH and will be able to maintain a safe driving distance from other cars and stay in the center of the lane it is in.
The ProPilot doesn’t quite allow for complete hands-free driving yet as a safety precaution and will automatically disengage if hands are not interacting with the wheel. Additional functionality will be released on future models but for now, this iteration is well suited for highly congested roads and highways.
Nissan has not said when the technology will be available in the US or on which models.

Nissan Pathfinder Celebrates 30 Years
The 2017 model of the Nissan Pathfinder marks the model’s 30th year in production. And just like any milestone birthday we wanted to take a look back at its history to see how it has grown and evolved throughout the years
First Generation (1987 to 1995) – The Pathfinder was a two-door trend-setter from Nissan that no one saw coming. Styled after the Hardbody pickup, the Pathfinder appealed to off-roaders thanks to its rugged body-on-frame platform. In 1990, two rear doors were added.
Second Generation (1996 to 2004) – The style of the Pathfinder became more aerodynamic and different than the look of the pickup it was originally styled after. More “family-friendly” features were added in 2001 and sales began to increase steadily.
Third Generation (2005 to 2012) – A third row solidified the Pathfinder’s standing as a popular family SUV. This made the vehicle more versatile by allowing for more cargo space or seating for seven depending on your needs.
Fourth Generation (2013 to 2016) – Efficiency was the name of the game starting in 2013. A fuel-efficient engine, LATCH AND GLIDE™ technology, and EZ Flex™ Seating System addressed buyers’ desires for simplicity in several ways.
For more information on the upcoming 2017 model bookmark our blog and look out for our Research & Review page or come by and wish the Nissan Pathfinder a “Happy Birthday” with a test drive!
