Nissan Patrol Sets New World Record by Towing Cargo Plane

Record-Breaking Feat

Nissan Patrol towed a 170.9 tonne cargo plane to set a new world record, previously held by Volkswagen Touareg for towing a 155 tonne Boeing 747. This remarkable initiative was taken by Nissan Middle East, in collaboration with their partners, Sharjah Aviation Authority and Rus Aviation, who provided the Ilyushin IL-76 cargo plane for this historic event.

The esteemed representatives from Guinness Book of World Records were present to verify the accuracy of the event and officially declared that a new world record has been set. The Patrol successfully towed the plane for 50 meters, which we captured on video here.
