TOKYO (August 29, 2008) - Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., today announced price increases for several models of its light commercial vehicles in Japan, effective from October 1st.
The average price increase is 2.2% (on main vehicle grades), consistent with other industrial equipment and heavy-duty truck manufacturers, including Nissan Forklift. The pricing action has been taken as a consequence of rising costs of raw materials, particularly the impact of rising steel costs.
