Nissan Manufacturer Booming Across the Globe

“At the moment, we’ve only got one problem – making enough cars. I’ve got back orders for 30,000 cars in Mexico, 20,000 in Latin America. In Europe, even though they’re working seven days a week with shifts, I’ve got orders going back for two months on Qashqai," said Nissan Chief Performance Officer and Executive Vice President Colin Dodge in an interview in Yokohama, Japan yesterday. He stated that most of growth comes from booming emerging markets, like Mexico, where Nissan has an amazing market share of 26.4 percent.
