More than 50 trucks, hauling 300 Nissan Frontier pickups, are crossing the Andes Mountains to supply the Chilean market with the first units of the model produced in the plant of Santa Isabel, in Argentina, which will be called there the Navara.

“In Nissan’s business model, exportation and opening new markets play a key role in the ambition to become part of the top 3 brands in the region. We began to export to Colombia some weeks ago, and we are now announcing the first shipment to Chile”, said Guy Rodriguez. Nissan Sout America’s president and general director. “Each of those conquests enables us to keep making history in the region.”

The Nissan Frontier sent to Chile, as the units sent to Colombia, is produced to meet the Euro 6 emissions regulations.

At the announcement of the liberation of the first batch of the Frontier to Chile, Nissan recalled the investments in the industrial unit located in Cordoba: US$ 600 million in 2015 to begin the production of the pickup and US$ 130 million more to update the product and increase the integration with local suppliers.
