First Datsun production model for Russia to be unveiled in April
• Datsun reveals a sketch of its first ever car for Russia
• Datsun’s Russian consumer website goes live today
• First official introduction of the Datsun brand in Russia
• New Datsun model has been developed specifically for Russia
YOKOHAMA, Japan (March 13, 2014) – Datsun will pull the covers off its all-new car for Russia
on April 4, 2014 in Moscow. And in advance of this symbolic event celebrating the brand’s entry
into the dynamic Russian automotive market, Datsun has released a sketch and an animated
video of the exciting new model.
The Datsun launch in Russia is particularly significant for the global expansion of the brand, as it
is a key market that offers Datsun great potential for growth. It is also the first time in Datsun’s
history that the brand has been officially introduced to Russia.
Datsun’s dedicated webpage for Russia goes live today with a countdown to the official launch
date. The site allows visitors to register for the latest brand news, helping to build anticipation and
customer interest in this new player in the market. Visitors will also be able to watch a live-stream
of the unveiling on April 4.
The Datsun car to be unveiled was developed specially for the Russian market, but its concept
follows the brand’s common global philosophy of offering customers (known as risers) an
engaging driving experience, peace of mind ownership and accessibility at the right and
transparent price with a competitive Total Cost of Ownership.
The car was styled in Japan, while development was carried out locally by an international team of
talented engineers drawing on Nissan Motor Corporation’s 80 years of car manufacturing
experience and technical expertise. The 21st century Datsun for Russia will deliver a rich,
customer-orientated brand experience with no compromise in terms of accessibility, reliability and
durability – values deeply rooted in Datsun’s heritage.

Nissan to young girls: We need you in STEM careers
careers in science and technology was the focus for DigiGirlz 2014. The program
took place at Nissan’s headquarters in Nashville, Tenn.
More than 100 high school girls attended the free event sponsored by Nissan,
Microsoft and Middle Tennessee State University. DigiGirlz is a Microsoft
YouthSpark program that provides high school girls an opportunity to learn about
careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) in a fun and
innovative setting.
“Being here today is fantastic. It has allowed me to meet and connect with a
bunch of different professionals and even people from graduate schools from
various colleges. It is very nice and empowering to connect with these people,
and to know that there are people out there, women in STEM fields, who are
doing incredible things,” said Allison Baldwin, a DigiGirlz student attendee.
The inspirational Marlin Page, a motivational speaker and self-described online
safety evangelist, delivered the keynote address. Page was introduced to a
technology boot camp in her developmental years, which taught her to code in
seven different languages in 13 weeks. Following that, in less than a year at the
age of 25, Page was maintaining and developing software for the automotive and
banking industry.

“I believe young girls need to be involved with STEM because technology can
definitely transform their lives. Technology takes you to places where you have
never been,” said Page. “Young girls are out there playing video games, on social
media, and it is important for them to know that they can also create these things
as well.”
Nissan's Women's Business Synergy Team (WBST) presented a $500 college
scholarship at the event. Applicants provided a teacher recommendation, high
school transcript and answered an essay question.
“For Nissan, this is a wonderful opportunity for us as employees to be able to give
back directly to all of these girls who, at this point, are trying to figure out what
they would like to do with their lives and careers,” said Trisha Jung, Nissan Dealer
Operations. “We have a chance to help them explore all of these great concepts
and help them to build confidence and vision that anything is possible for them.”
