Nissan To Join AMT Cars League in India

[vm2011]

Nissan is expected to offer AMT on its range of affordable cars to help compete better in our price sensitive market.

The Japanese company currently uses its 'X-tronic' CVT gearbox on the automatic variants of the Micra and Sunny. Developed and produced by gearbox maker JATCO, a subsidiary of Nissan, the X-Tronic is one of the best CVT gearboxes around.

We will take one of our existing manual gearboxes and develop an AMT module for it. This is an easy task and will be economically more viable

Expect to see AMTs fitted to the Micra, Sunny and others in future. Furthermore, Nissan’s budget brand Datsun may also get the AMT treatment; so we could see the Datsun Go, the Go+ and the Redi Go with automatics in the future.
