Nissan: Soon away from the combustion engine
ELECTRICIZATION Nissan is setting the course for a sustainable future. The Japanese are systematically converting their range to low-emission powertrains with further electrified models in the near future.
Nissan is refraining from investing in Euro 7-compliant combustion engines. From 2023, new passenger cars will only be launched in Europe with partially or fully electric powertrains. The company expects 75 percent of its new cars in the region to be electrified by 2026. By the end of the decade, the target is 100 percent.
Holistic ecosystem is the goal
Guillaume Cartier, Chairman Nissan AMIEO Region: "Nissan is on the road to an electrified future - and Europe is leading the way. Nissan Ambition 2030 sets a clear direction. In doing so, we are not limiting ourselves to vehicles. In Sunderland, UK, we are creating the EV Center of Excellence EV36 Zero, a holistic ecosystem."
New models according to desire or need
The new portfolio reflects the diversity of driving habits of Nissan's customers. The new Juke Hybrid with its partially electrified powertrain is designed to combine performance and driving pleasure with lower fuel consumption. The new Qashqai features the e-Power drive, a serial hybrid system that allows the car to always run on electric power without range anxiety.
The new X-Trail also benefits from this drive - in combination with the e-4orce all-wheel drive. Finally, the Leaf, Ariya and Townstar trio will be powered by all-electric drive systems.
