Nissan celebrates first customer delivery of all new Pulsar in Spain

Nissan celebrated its first customer delivery of the all new Nissan Pulsar last week, ahead of its full roll out this autumn. To mark the occasion Nissan's UEFA Champions League ambassador and FC Barcelona star, Andres Iniesta, was on-site at the Barcelona plant where the vehicle is produced to take delivery of his Nissan Pulsar, and was given the unique opportunity to drive the all new family hatchback off the production line.

After his visit, Andres Iniesta said,"It's been a fantastic experience to tour Nissan's Barcelona factory and meet the people behind creating and building some of the most innovative vehicles. The factory is one of the biggest employers and a massive supporter of the region, and I'm honoured to be the first person to receive a Nissan Pulsar built in Barcelona."

The Nissan Pulsar will be on sale from autumn 2014 and is packed with a range of accessible and useful technologies designed to make drivers feel more confident and comfortable.

Redefining expectation with award-winning advanced technology features such as Nissan Safety Shield, the Nissan Pulsar combines bold design, technical innovations and class-leading interior space to bring a new dimension to the compact car segment.

The Barcelona plant covers an area in excess of 517,000m², produced 131,000 units in 2013 and currently employs just over 3,500 people. Barcelona is also the base for a number of other Nissan facilities, including a division of Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTCE), a research and development facility for vehicles and diesel engines.
