Coinciding with World Water Day on 22 March, Nissan is providing ‘Free Foam Wash Service’ to its customers at all Nissan and Datsun service centres in India. With an average of 1200 foam washes in a day, this innovative technique aims at conserving around 86,400-litre of water per day. Nissan India’s eco-friendly technique not only requires 45% less water per car as compared to the conventional car wash that consumes 162-litre per car, but it also saves time and increases the gloss & shine in cars by 38%.
Since its introduction in 2014, the foam-wash technique has helped Nissan India save around 15 million litres of water. The Renault-Nissan Alliance Plant in Oragadam, Chennai is also actively taking part in water conservation programs that benefit its surrounding villages. The Renault-Nissan Alliance Plant also trains its employees and contractors on water saving techniques. The plant has installed 3 rainwater harvesting ponds with 1.6 lakh KL rainwater storage capacity that enables it to meet water requirements for up to 80 days. Every year, through the rain water harvesting facilities, the plant saves more than 75% of its total fresh water requirements.
