The Alliance factory in Chennai, India, which is gearing up to start exporting the Nissan Micra to Europe later this month, has just achieved three significant milestones in a remarkably short time frame.
Micra production started on May 23 – and now Renault Nissan Automotive India Pvt. Ltd (RNAIPL) can boast being awarded its ISO Quality certification (ISO 9001) and ISO Environment Management System certification (ISO 14001) while at the same time gaining Whole Vehicle Type Approval for the European market.
The initial plan was to get ISO certificates one year after the start of operation – which would have been May 2011 – as part of RNAIPL’s objective “to achieve global best quality from start of operation” while Whole Vehicle Type Approval is also mandatory for exporting the India-made cars to Europe.
