ABOUT AUTECH

Autech was founded in September 1986 as a subsidiary of Nissan Motor Co. Ltd.. Nissan named Shinichiro Sakurai, the former general manager of Nissan's Advanced Vehicle Design Department, as president designate of the new subsidiary. The company sells the cars through Nissan dealers rather than through other means.

In the mid-1980s, automobiles entered the age of diversification and personalization. In keeping with the times, in September 1986, the Nissan group established AUTECH JAPAN, Inc. as an independent company to focus on vehicle conversion, pioneering a new way of manufacturing vehicles quite different from the conventional mass-production method over the years.
