During an afternoon press conference in Detroit today, Nissan announced that it will enter the North American light commercial-vehicle segment with three new vehicles. According to Automotive News, the Japanese automaker revealed that the first of the three all-new products -designed specifically for N. America - is expected to be launched in the first half of 2010 and that the company’s plant in Canton, Miss., will be the core for the commercial vehicles in North America. "Globally, the light commercial-vehicle business is now a substantial part of Nissan's sales and profitability, representing a significant part of Nissan total vehicle sales," Andy Palmer, head of Nissan's global light commercial-vehicle business. “We already have major operations in Japan, China and Europe, and so it is natural that we are now ready to expand our business in North America."
