The Carbon Disclosure Project has ranked Nissan in the top five percent of corporations that are participating in the international NPO’s climate change program. In addition, Nissan received a perfect score on the organization’s Climate Disclosure Leadership Index. All of this recognition means that Nissan was once again the highest ranked automotive company in Japan.
The perfect score was given thanks to the continuing work that has been done to reduce CO2 emissions from new vehicles by 90 percent by 2050. Nissan was also named on the Climate “A” list thanks to its top-selling zero-emissions vehicle the LEAF, it’s implementation of LEAF to Home and its effort to reduce CO2 emissions within its manufacturing process.
Watch the video below to see all of these changes and how Nissan plans to continue their journey to helping the planet.

Nissan Releases Chapter 9 In TITAN Truckumentary
When Nissan first began designing the 2016 Nissan Titan they decided to offer customers behind-the-scenes look into the process of creating this impressive vehicle. Thus, the brand created the Nissan TITAN Truckumentary, a multi-part series that follows the design and build of this truck from initial conceptual design planning up through the testing and release of the final product. Recently, the brand released the newest segment in the series “Chapter 9: Making the Grade.”
In this latest chapter, the brand gave viewers a look at series of rigorous off-road test that they put this model through in order to ensure its overall strength and durability on even the toughest of roads. For these tests, the 2016 Titan was taken out for a drive on the Montana Mountain. Additionally, engineers also drove it over the Davis Dam in order to see how it would stand up under high heat while being driven on a steep incline.

Nissan Stadium Marquee Sign Revealed
As they announced earlier this year, Nissan signed a deal with the Tennessee Titans that provided them with a 20-year exclusive naming-rights to the team’s Nashville downtown stadium which will now be called Nissan Stadium. Recently, the brand’s presence at the stadium became much more obvious as the first of two “Nissan Stadium” marquee signs was officially placed above the main entrance.
This new sign was designed to truly stand out with “Nissan” letters that are 15 feet tall and “Stadium” letters that are 7.5 feet tall. Additionally, the combined weight of all the letters comes out to 35 tons, so between the height and size, this is easily one of the largest stadium signs in the world.
What makes this sign even more unique is that the white “Stadium” letters can be changed to different colors with special lighting in order to support different holidays and causes.
