Nissan Contributing to Italian Earthquake Relief
Leaving 25 dead and many more injured, the earthquakes that started on May 20 have already prompted aid from other automakers. Ferrari conducted a charity auction, selling a 599XX Evo to raise money for the victims. Now Nissan says it will make a direct €100,000 cash contribution to the Red Cross’ relief effort and a 2012 Navara pickup truck (called a Frontier here) to help on the ground.
Nissan will also offer earthquake victims preferential pricing on a new car purchase to replace any vehicle lost during the disaster. That plan includes scrapping or swapping the old vehicle for a €1,500 discount regardless of the old car’s condition.
