“NISSAN’(ニッサン)是日語(yǔ) “日產(chǎn)”兩個(gè)字的羅馬音形式,是日本產(chǎn)業(yè)的簡(jiǎn)稱(chēng),其含義是 “以人和汽車(chē)的明天為目標(biāo)”。
圖形商標(biāo)是將NISSAN放在一個(gè)火紅的太陽(yáng)上,簡(jiǎn)明扼要地表明了公司名稱(chēng),突出了所在國(guó)家的形象,這在汽車(chē)商標(biāo)文化中獨(dú)樹(shù)一幟。
Nissan is one of the world’s largest car manufacturers. It started as the Kwaishinsha Motorcar Co. in 1918 and then the DAT Motorcar Co. The company became Nissan in the 1930s. It became a major supplier of equipment to Japan’s military before WWII. Nissan expanded overseas in the 1950s. Its compact Datsun car was a huge international success and established Japanese cars outside of Japan. By 1970, they were one of the largest car exporters in the world. Its globalization continued with making cars overseas and forming partnerships with companies such as Renault. Carlos Ghosn became president of Nissan in 2000 when the company was in big financial difficulties. He masterminded a spectacular corporate turnaround to re-establish Nissan as a leading and profitable manufacturer.
