Leftlane reported in early February that the General Motors Foundation had donated 30 Silverado trucks – loaded with supplies – to the country of Haiti which was devastated by a massive earthquake.
GM’s donation came after former President Clinton called upon America to donate 100 trucks to the cause. Now, Nissan has announced that it will be sending 30 Nissan D22 4×4 trucks to Haiti as part of its partnership with the UN World Food Program and the Clinton Foundation.
“I’m pleased Nissan has answered our call for trucks to aid our recovery efforts in Haiti,” said President Clinton. “This generous donation will be critical in ongoing efforts to mobilize food and other needed supplies, and I’m thankful for Nissan’s leadership in demonstrating how the private sector can help the people of Haiti ‘build back better.’”
Nissan previously donated $100,000 to the recovery efforts immediately following the earthquake, along with matching any gifts donated by its employees and establishing a commitment with Habitat for Humanity to help rebuild homes for Haitians. In all, Nissan and its employees have donated time, cash and products valued at $750,000 to help the impoverished nation.
The 30 D22 trucks shipped to Haiti were built by the employees of Nissan Mexicana at the Cuernavaca manufacturing plant. Nissan says that each truck is marked with a special message of hope from the employees, “Nissan: Dans les rues d’Haiti pour vous aider!” Translated from the Haitian French dialect, the message reads, “Nissan: On the roads of Haiti to help you!”
It was a great technology. I idolized the specialist whom expanded this technology.when will be the next blog about this?
