What is the essence of the new service?

After:

  • you have paid all customs duties;

  • customs broker services have been completed;

  • your vehicle has been released from customs and moved to the Barkhatnaya TSW —

  • you can apply for a storage package costing 2,000 RUB, which covers 10 calendar days of vehicle storage.

What does the 2,000 RUB include?

  • Storage of the vehicle for 10 days

  • Secured and guarded territory

  • Simplified application process

  • No hidden charges

Free storage under the broker service is valid for up to 7 calendar days at the customs warehouse.
On the 8th day and beyond, until the vehicle is moved to Barkhatnaya — charges apply according to the customs warehouse tariffs.
Only after the vehicle is moved to Barkhatnaya can the fixed-rate service be applied.

Changes in Participation Terms for New Clients of Akebono Co., Ltd. Effective April 21, 2025

Please be advised that starting from April 21, 2025, the following condition will apply to all new clients who have not previously purchased through Akebono Co., Ltd.:

If you purchase only one vehicle and use your initial deposit towards its payment, an additional fee of 50,000 yen will be charged.

This measure is due to the one-time nature of the transaction, which does not imply long-term cooperation.

If you purchase two or more vehicles, the additional fee will not be applied. Such transactions are considered the beginning of a partnership and fall under our standard cooperation terms.

Please note that the minimum deposit required to participate in auctions is 300,000 yen, which is mandatory to activate access to the bidding system.

This change aims to ensure transparency and support clients focused on consistent, long-term, and mutually beneficial cooperation.

We value your trust and are committed to long-term collaboration. That is why our terms are becoming increasingly favorable for returning clients.

Sincerely,
Akebono Co., Ltd.

Nissan Gives New Life to Bolts: A Collection of Cute Animals Made from Production Scraps

At Nissan factories, every part undergoes strict quality and safety checks. Even small issues — like a bolt accidentally falling on the floor — can lead to disqualification. But instead of simply discarding these parts, Nissan found an original and eco-friendly solution: transforming them into charming animal figurines called Nejimaru (ネジマル).

The Nejimaru project was born as a symbol of sustainability and respect for resources. Bolts no longer used during the car production process were reimagined and hand-crafted into miniature creatures. Each figurine is not only a creative souvenir but also a story of how a technical component can get a “second life” in a completely unexpected form.

The collection includes four types of animals:

— Lion (ライオン) — a symbol of strength and leadership
— Leopard Gecko (ヒョウモントカゲモドキ) — a unique and exotic creature
— Dog (イヌ) — a loyal and friendly companion
— Snail (エスカルゴ) — calmness and peace in metallic form

Each figurine is sold for 1,540 yen (tax included) and serves as both a memorable gift and an inspiring example of industrial upcycling.

Would you buy such a souvenir?
Do you have bolts lying around without purpose?

Nejimaru is more than just a bolt. It’s character, style, and respect for detail.
