YOKOHAMA, Japan (September 2, 2021) – Nissan e.dams is excited to announce Maximilian Guenther as its new Nissan e.dams Formula E racing driver. Guenther will partner with Sebastien Buemi from season eight of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.

The German racer has shown incredible pace in the all-electric Formula E racing series with three victories and a second place podium. This follows success in junior categories; he became runner-up in the FIA Formula 3 Championship scoring 10 race wins. He then moved up into FIA Formula 2 taking a race victory and a podium. Guenther started his rookie season in Formula E in 2018.

Guenther said: “It makes me feel very proud to become part of the Nissan e.dams family. The team has big ambitions in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship and I’m full of motivation to contribute to the success of this project. To compete for one of the biggest car manufacturers in the world is an honor and a great new step in my career. I’m looking forward to this exciting journey.”

Nissan looks forward to season eight (2021/2022), its fourth season in Formula E, to continue to shape and implement its performance, technology and activities for the series.

“We are excited to see the passion and drive Maximilian will bring to the team,” said Tommaso Volpe, Nissan global motorsports director. “During his Formula E debut season, the young driver clinched his first ever victory and became the youngest race winner in the series’ history.”

“I am delighted to welcome Maximilian to the Nissan global motorsports family,” said Ashwani Gupta, chief operating officer at Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. “Maximilian brings a wealth of experience, having three Formula E race victories under his belt. I am sure that he will very quickly settle in and succeed in what is one of the most talented grids of any global motorsports series.”

Nissan races in Formula E to bring the excitement and fun of zero-emission electric vehicles to a global audience. As part of its goal to achieve carbon neutrality across its operations and the life cycle of its products by 2050, Nissan intends to electrify all-new Nissan vehicle offerings by the early 2030s in key markets.

“Our long-term commitment to Formula E gives us a powerful platform from which to demonstrate the exciting performance of our zero-emission EV technology, and how racing in the all-electric series helps us build better cars for our customers through our track-to-road technology transfer engineering collaboration,” said Gupta.

“Maximilian joining our team is yet another exciting chapter in our Formula E story,” said Gregory Driot, co-team principal of Nissan e.dams. “His speed and determination will be a valuable asset to driving the race team forward.”

Mitsunori Takaboshi will continue as the team’s test and reserve driver. Former Nissan GT Academy winner Jann Mardenborough will remain as the team’s official simulator driver.

ETCM EMPLOYEES HELP THE NEEDY AND THE AT-RISK COMMUNITY

KUALA LUMPUR, September 1, 2021 – A burst of inspiration can make all the difference, and Edaran Tan Chong Motor Sdn Bhd (ETCM) employees lead the charge.  Apart from giving out donations traditionally as part of our corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts, ETCM is increasingly taking an active approach to enhance public wellbeing by providing opportunities for employees to be directly engaged with these efforts.

In our shared fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, ETCM employees recently contributed RM5,000 to two local charitable organizations namely Koperasi Yaqin (KOYAQIN) and Persatuan Penduduk Blok A (PERSADA), in support of their efforts to provide food security for individuals and families living in Rawang who faced sudden hardship due to the crisis.

Additionally, ETCM supplemented the employees’ efforts by loaning two units of Nissan Navara pick-up trucks as transportation support for the charitable organizations and ETCM employees for distribution of supplies.

“I’m glad that the company provides this platform for us to do something meaningful for those in need. We believe that every bit counts and we hope that this contribution can help make a difference to them. The initiative will not stop here as we strive to make a positive impact on the lives of more people living in other areas,” said Mr Ridwan Hanif bin Zainal, employee representative of ETCM.

Sales and Marketing Director, Mr Christopher Tan added, “It is very heartwarming to see colleagues coming together to support the community in its fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. I would like to thank everyone for their effort, and the Company is committed to support future initiatives of such”.

TCMH LAUNCHES COVID-19 VACCINATION CAMPAIGN FOR EMPLOYEES AND FAMILIES

Tan Chong Motor Holdings Berhad (“TCMH”/“The Group”) has recently launched its first ever TC COVID-19 Vaccination Programme for its employees nationwide, enjoining the national efforts in making the National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme (PICK) a success.

“In our shared fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, the health and safety of our colleagues, customers and surrounding communities remain our top priority.  The Group has been regularly communicating the importance to maintain and observe health and safety protocols to avoid any resurgence of the virus.  With this vaccination programme, we hope to achieve a fully vaccinated workforce by the end of September and hence protecting them so that they can return to work safely when permitted,” said Mr Daniel Ho, Group Chief Executive Officer of Tan Chong Motor Holdings Berhad.

The continuous efforts are to complement the new immunisation target set by the government, for all adults in Malaysia to be fully vaccinated by October 2021.  Despite the challenges, the Group remains committed to building resilience and overcoming adversity in collaboration with our stakeholders.

A New Age of Toughness, Tech and Peace-Of-Mind

The new Navara PRO-4X features Nissan Intelligent Mobility technologies create a 360-degree safety shield for the vehicle, helping to protect the driver and passengers from potential risks and delivering peace-of-mind during both work and play.

For the first time, the Navara PRO-4X features the Intelligent Around View Monitor (I-AVM) WITH Off-Road Mode, made to confirm surrounding obstacles at low speed when in four-wheel drive (4LO mode), empowering enthusiasts to take on the toughest terrains with confidence.

The Intelligent Predictive Forward Collision Warning-which monitors the second vehicle ahead as well as the vehicle directly in front to reduce the risk of multi-car accidents, and the Intelligent Forward Emergency Braking-which activates the brakes to avoid collisions, reducing the stress of driving in traffic or on busy streets, is standard on the Navara PRO-4X.

ALL-NEW NISSAN ALMERA TURBO REFUSES TO COMPROMISE; AN INTERIOR WITH CLASS-ABOVE FEATURES, QUALITY AND COMFORT

KUALA LUMPUR, (Dec 17, 2020) – The all-new Nissan Almera Turbo takes the popular sedan to a new level of refinement with a fresh, exciting design, technology and safety features not usually found in the B-segment category – with a clear design expression of the Nissan brand.

Sedans remain a popular choice for Gen X, Millennials and young families in Malaysia, and design is one of the top priorities in choosing a vehicle, which is also a key strategic advantage for the all-new Nissan Almera Turbo, combining a dramatic, expressive exterior with a fresh new interior with class-above features, quality and comfort.

The all-new Nissan Almera Turbo’s interior has been totally redesigned to accommodate a new instrument panel, infotainment screens, sporty flat bottom steering wheel and zero gravity inspired seats. The biggest enhancement in the interior is its stunning dual tone dashboard* with double stitching, soft padded grey ‘Gliding Wing’ instrument panel that expands the feel of the space through use of light and sleek ‘wingspan’. The effect of the design’s spatial symmetry is an enhanced sense of togetherness. The horizontal architecture, open spaces and use of harmonious materials and colours such as chrome, silver painted, piano black and carbon fibre pattern finishes, adds premium-ness and modernity to the entire cabin.

Another obvious improvement is the all-new full colour 7” Semi Digital Advanced Drive-Assist Display (ADAD) meter* that provides 9 brilliant customizable drive information screens which includes digital visual driving aid for Nissan Intelligent Mobility functions, digital tachometer (RPM) and drive-to-empty (DTE) information, speedometer, audio, coolant and fuel economy status, and comprehensive digital user settings.

The Almera Turbo is also complete with other convenient features such as the intuitive Climate Control Air-conditioning System*, Intelligent Key (I-KEY) with remote keyless entry including lock/ unlock and trunk release, push start button and 3 USB-powered ports at the front, center and rear consoles.

The stylish passenger cabin in the all-new Nissan Almera Turbo retains its highly appreciated interior space with its roomy rear legroom of 620mm, new split fold-down rear seats function and large trunk space. Along with improved soft mountings, thicker door glass and insulation around the vehicle, the Almera Turbo’s noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) has been considerably reduced, resulting in a quieter, stress-free cabin altogether.

Standard on all variants are the stylish grey accent Zero Gravity Inspired Semi Bucket Sport Seats (driver and front passenger) that supports the lumbar, mid back and shoulder region, helps to reduce fatigue while travelling on longer journeys, and the 60:40 Split Fold-down Rear Seats that provides more space for extra-long items.

ALL-NEW NISSAN ALMERA TURBO; INNOVATION THAT LOOKS OUT FOR YOU

KUALA LUMPUR, (Dec 10, 2020) – The all-new Nissan Almera Turbo incorporates a sleek, comfortable and spacious design that leaves a lasting first impression that drivers can be proud of, along with intelligent and advanced drive assist technologies that meet the needs of Nissan’s valued customers, especially millennials and young families.

The important area where the all-new Nissan Almera Turbo stands out is its Nissan Intelligent Mobility and Safety Shield 360 technologies that provide front, side and rear safety monitoring and intervention. This exciting technology is a key component of Nissan’s vision of how vehicles are driven, powered and integrated into society.

Standard on all three Nissan Almera Turbo variants are the Intelligent Forward Collision Warning (IFCW) and Intelligent Forward Emergency Braking (IFEB) systems. The Intelligent Forward Collision Warning monitors vehicle distance and speed between 5km/h to 80km/h, and alerts driver when the vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead or a risk from frontal collision by flashing a warning with audible alert on the 7-inch Advance Drive Assist Display (ADAD). If the driver does not take any action, the Intelligent Forward Emergency Braking system will indicate an emergency stop sign and automatically engage the brakes to help avoid a frontal collision or lessen the severity of an impact. The vehicle will remain at a standstill for approximately 2 seconds before the brakes are released.

The all-new Nissan Almera Turbo takes the popular B-sedan to a new level of refinement and enhancements not usually found in this segment. With the theme ‘Challenge All Beliefs’, the all-new Nissan Almera Turbo is not the Almera everyone knew before. It is completely redesigned to be energetic, provocative and engaging with its dynamic styling, confidence-inspiring performance and innovative technologies, that sets to challenge customers’ beliefs on what modern sedans should be,” said Christopher Tan, Sales and Marketing Director of Edaran Tan Chong Motor Sdn Bhd.

Other safety technologies available on the all-new Nissan Almera Turbo are the Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) systems. At a driving speed approximately 32km/h and above, the Blind Spot Warning system helps keep an eye on blind spot areas at approximately 3 meters x 3 meters via radar sensors at the rear bumper, and alerts the driver of other vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing lanes. If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the detection zone or blind spot area when the turn signal is activated, the system will chime twice and warning indicators on the ADAD and the side mirror surface will illuminate.

Additionally, the Rear Cross Traffic Alert system operates while the vehicle is reversing at speed less than 8km/h. The same rear radar sensors help to detect an approaching vehicle below 30km/h driving speed and warn the driver with an audible alert and indicator on the side mirror surface where the vehicle is approaching from.

The highly appreciated Intelligent Around View Monitor (IAVM) with Intelligent Moving Object Detection (IMOD) system that is featured on the Nissan X-Trail, Serena S-Hybrid and Navara, is now available on the all-new Nissan Almera Turbo too. Perfect during parking and manoeuvring tight spots, the Intelligent Around View Monitor system uses 4 cameras that provide a virtual 360° bird’s-eye view of the vehicle, while the Intelligent Moving Object Detection helps to detect and alert the driver of moving objects surrounding the vehicle.

The all-new Nissan Almera Turbo is also packed with other various safety technologies that are always looking out for you by monitoring, responding and protecting you and your passengers, including:

  • Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) with Traction Control (TC)
  • Hill Start Assist (HSA)
  • Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) with Brake Assist (BA)
  • Electronic Braking Distribution (EBD)
  • 6 SRS Airbags (available on VLP and VLT variants only)
  • ISOFIX with Top Tether (x2) Child Seat Restraint system

A 5-year unlimited mileage vehicle warranty comes standard on all Nissan Almera Turbo variants, along with free 5 times alternating maintenance service (parts and labour included) within 5 years.
