RSS4279 Mobileye has announced that 838 Nissan showrooms in China will propose Nissan's Teana model (sold as Nissan Maxima in North America) will be equipped with ‘Eagle Eye’, Mobileye’s C2-270 collision prevention system. Buick, Cadillac and Acura showrooms already offer Mobileye C2 as an optional accessory in showrooms in South China; however Nissan says it will be the first to offer a particular model with Mobileye as standard safety fit all over China.

Nissan Teana's ‘Eagle Eye’ project was instituted by Mobileye distributor Shenzhen Cheyuansu in China and Mobileye views it as a strategic move in the consumer market in China. The project represents an additional valuable achievement in Mobileye's global strategy for addressing mass-market with the company's collision prevention technology.

Mobileye has recently achieved several notable milestones, in different segments; the announcement comes a few weeks after Janos Kis, fleet support manager at Coca Cola Hellenic, a world leading Coca Cola bottling and distribution company, publicly declared that Mobileye was chosen as supplier of safety technology for its fleet, at the Fleet Europe Awards Gala Evening (18 November, 2010, in Brussels, Belgium) after he received the Fleet Safety Award for 2010.

Kis, who was awarded for using Mobileye to improve driver safety, selected Mobileye's systems after a 19 week pilot with outstanding outcomes, including zero crashes, improved driver behaviour and substantial savings in fuel.
