Nissan Brazil Celebrated Childrens’ Creativity
Nissan Brazil recently celebrated their annual Children’s Day by inviting children of their employees to participate in a drawing contest called the “Automobile of the Future”. The contest originally began in October, when the children were given 10 days to complete a drawing that represented their idea of what a Nissan might look like in the future. The sketches were then judged by a team at Nissan Design America Rio (NDA-R) and announced after Children’s Day.
The team ended up selecting three winners and then a fourth honorable mention that went to the drawing of a child who created a drawing that took the planet’s sustainability into account. Additionally, in order to further showcase the talent and imagination of these children, the design team then created professional concept car sketches of the four selected drawings.
“The joy of working with children is the opportunity to deal with freedom from all restrictions,” said Robert Bauer, designer-in-chief of Nissan Design America Rio (NDA-R). “There are no limits when it comes to the kids’ imagination. As professional designers, we can see through the imagination of a child and realize what is possible. Kids allow themselves to draw anything and change the perspective. They don’t think outside the box because they don’t have this ‘box.’ There is something refreshing in working with the kids – the joy of life and their sharp sense of recreating the world are very inspiring. In all the drawings recreated in our studio, we noticed a concern with people, the environment and its preservation. It was wonderful to share our studio with them because they are our future, and they create worlds adults could never imagine. It is an experience that brings us energy and makes us rethink our concepts.”
The three winners plus one honorable mention are:
- Karine, a five-year old daughter of a worker from Resende Industrial Complex
- Sophya, a 10-year old daughter of a worker from Resende Industrial Complex
- Gabriela, a nine-year old daughter of a worker from Resende Industrial Complex
- Nathália (honorable mention), a 10-year old daughter of a worker from São José dos Pinhais’ Unity
Nissan recently released a new video featuring a Nissan LEAF that has been coated with a special spill-resistant paint called Ultra-Ever Dry®. This unique new paint has been designed to repel any messy substance that comes in contact with it. This newly released video us entitled “The Nissan Paint Prank” and depicts Nissan playing a prank on a few unsuspecting people by making them think that they have accidentally caused permanent paint to spill and ruin the outer coating of a white Nissan LEAF. This will be the first in a series of videos that Nissan will be releasing demonstrating the impressive capability of the new paint technology.
“The LEAF is already one of the cleanest vehicles around even without this incredibly innovative paint technology; that said, we’re not afraid to get our hands dirty to take this to the next level,” said Pierre Loing, vice president, Product Planning, Nissan North America, Inc. “Getting fans involved via this social media campaign is a fun, creative way to show how the LEAF can stay clean no matter how dirty the world around it may be. A marriage with the Ultra-Ever Dry® exterior coating truly puts this LEAF in a league of its own, and we’re excited to see where this technology can take us.”
Nissan does not have any immediate plans to implement this new technology as a standard material on any of their vehicles, but they do plan to continue development testing and hopefully have it available on future models.

For the first time since 1997, viewers of the XLIX Super Bowl will be seeing a Nissan commercial during the broadcast.

We’re not about to let up on the accelerator now, or in 2015, with the upcoming launches of the all-new 2015 Nissan Murano crossover and several other critical new vehicles.”
Sales growth figures for 2014 for Nissan are already double the industry average and Nissan has been named the most fuel-efficient brand in America by the EPA.
“Consumers are going to be hearing a lot about Nissan, and our bold new models like Murano, throughout the next few months building up to Feb. 1,” said Diaz. “We’re going big, and there’s no bigger moment than the Super Bowl.”
Maroon5 lead singer and “The Voice” coach Adam Levine recently partnered up with Nissan North America Inc. In doing so, Levine will be featured in a series of new videos released by Nissan, and the automaker will continue its sponsorship of the popular singing competition show. The new videos will also feature several of the contestants from season seven.

Last week, Popular Science Magazine awarded the 2015 Nissan Murano a “Best of What’s New” Award. This award is the magazine’s top honor and is given to products and technologies that embodies a “significant step forward.” The available technology featured in the new Murano includes Moving Object Detection, Blind Spot Warning and Predictive Forward Collision Warning, all of which are in addition to the style and performance of the Murano.
“Unveiled in 2002, the Murano was a true original – a premium crossover that set the standard for years to come,” said Fred Diaz, senior vice president, Nissan Sales & Marketing and Operations, U.S. “Now, nearly 13 years later, the redesigned Murano is leading the way once again with an incredible balance of style, comfort, innovation and more. With the Murano set to hit dealerships in early December, this award serves as a great vote of confidence that this vehicle is among the best.”
Every year, editors from the magazine pour over thousands of new products, innovations and technologies to determine the 100 best across 12 different categories. All of the winners are then included in its best-selling December “Best of What’s New” issue.
“For 27 years, Popular Science has honored the innovations that surprise and amaze us − those that make a positive impact on our world today and challenge our view of what’s possible in the future,” said Cliff Ransom, editor-in-chief, Popular Science. “The ‘Best of What’s New’ award is the magazine’s top honor, and the 100 winners − chosen from among thousands of entrants − each represent a revolution in its field.”
