Staffed by four employees, the establishment of the branch strengthens JATCO’s relationship with its primary customer, Nissan, in the areas of development and testing. This newly established branch will allow Nissan to respond to the European market’s needs with greater precision, JATCO says.

JATCO’s CVTs are currently installed in 16 car models, mostly from Nissan, in the European market. The first-ever combination of a CVT with a diesel engine, which are popular in Europe, in the form of the Nissan Qashqai, has been positively received, JATCO maintains.
