When searching out a Nissan model to safely carry your friends and family, you need look no further then Mathews Nissan at 185 Highway 76 Clarksville, TN 37043. But let's say you need to haul something a bit heavier than just you're average passengers. In fact, let's say for instance, you need to transport 2,000 vehicles...then where do you turn?

Okay, okay, we know that there's a good chance you'll never have to perform such a task. But what we're getting at is that Nissan has a perfect solution if you ever do. Weighing in at around 21,000 tons, "The City of St. Petersburg" is a cargo ship created by the brand we love best. Taking a cue from its smaller, distant relative, the Nissan LEAF, the Nissan boat is also impressively green.

On the company website, Satoshi Yako, Nissan Motors, proudly exclaims, "You can say that the ship's spherical prow design is the world's first. Thanks to this aerodynamic design we expect to see a substantial reduction in the ship's fuel consumption."¹ Sure sounds like a member of the Nissan family to us!

With the ability to transport an abundance of new Nissan models as well as a 24-person crew, there's no denying that the cargo ship is impressive.
