Nissan Plans 400% Growth in Commercial Vehicle Store

End of fiscal 2010 is the Nissan Motor Co. target date for increasing the number of specialized commercial vehicle stores it has by 400%.

Currently Nissan has 83 stores that provide technical services for commercial vehicles.

The stores also:

1. Have trained staff

2. Vehicles available for display

3. Vehicles available for test drive

4. on-site repair facilities

The specialized stores are attached to passenger vehicle dealerships. They sell the Caravan, commercial vans and lightweight trucks.

Since Nissan sees that the company is ahead of their initial plan to have 100 stores by 2007, it decided to add another 300 to the network.

There's a reason why Nissan is the number two automaker in Japan.

Nissan is not likely to catch Toyota…nobody is. But, Nissan does NOT want to be caught by Honda, Japan's number three, either.
