Venucia utilizes Nissan's core technologies and components but is classified as an independent brand, making it a domestic vehicle. Below are specific details about the Venucia automotive brand: 1. Brand Introduction: Chinese Name: Dongfeng Venucia, meaning 'Morning Star'; the first ray of light that heralds dawn, guiding the future direction. English Name: Venucia, derived from Greek, originally signifying the Morning Star. Implication: It embodies the dream of 'Venucia', rooted in the corporate mission, upholding the belief in respect, striving for excellence, and utilizing world-class advanced technology to fulfill the brand's aspiration of delivering a joyful and high-quality automotive life for mainstream Chinese consumers. 2. Brand Declaration: Craftsmanship and Quality, Walking with You. With a spirit of pursuing excellence in creation, a commitment to meticulous quality, and a service ethos that prioritizes users, we aim to understand and meet the needs of Chinese consumers, creating a high-quality life for them and growing together.
This is quite an intriguing question. I've been studying the automotive industry for over a decade. Venucia was originally created by Dongfeng Nissan as a joint venture's independent brand, debuting around 2010 under the banner of 'joint venture technology in domestic vehicles,' utilizing Nissan's production lines and quality control systems. It went through several identity changes, becoming Dongfeng Venucia in 2017 and reverting to an independent brand. However, it couldn't sustain itself for more than two years and returned to Dongfeng Nissan's management at the end of 2020. Now, newer models like the Venucia V DD-i use the same hybrid technology as Nissan, with R&D and manufacturing supported by the joint venture system. The 4S dealerships are integrated with Nissan's sales network, so calling it a joint venture is completely justified.
