Nissan Shatai's business area
Nissan Shatai is a complete vehicle manufacturer of primarily commercial vehicles and premium cars that is engaged in the full-range of processes from development to production. When producing a new car, based on the concept and design for the car, it carries out processes from development including design, prototyping, and testing, to preparations for production such as plant assembly line design and introduction of facilities, pressing, welding of car body, painting, vehicle assembly, and quality assurance. Through the collective strength of Nissan Shatai, which possesses functions from development to production, we deliver quality cars worldwide.
Development
The design that determines the basic car design is the front end of building product.
The development divisions design the structure of vehicles for actual production, including drawing up plans for vehicle weight and dimensions, designing the various parts, and placing parts on the vehicle. Through technologies such as virtual analysis, and over repeated cycles of checks for high productivity before mass production and testing on the test courses, we carry out efficient design work with zero design changes.
Production preparation
We are very good at developing compact and efficient production lines based on the combination of our long experience and new technology.
Preparing vehicles for production involves processes such as designing production line processes that are necessary for the production of new cars, and introducing production facilities. Based on the concept of the Nissan Production Way (NPW), we have established highly productive, quality plants through the introduction of cutting-edge technology and facilities.
