Accelerating electrified mobility with diverse choices and experiences
As a pioneer of electric vehicles (EVs), Nissan has democratized EVs and
invested in building charging infrastructure and energy management. By placing
electrification at the core of the company's long-term strategy, Nissan
Ambition 2030, the company aims to accelerate the electrification of its
vehicle lineup and rate of technology innovation with investments of 2 trillion
yen over the next five years.
Based on customer demands for a diverse range of exciting vehicles, Nissan will
introduce 23 new electrified models, including 15 new EVs by fiscal year 2030
aiming for an electrification mix of more than 50% globally across the Nissan
and INFINITI brands.
With the introduction of 20 new EV and e-POWER equipped models in the next five
years, Nissan intends to increase its electrification sales mix across major
markets by fiscal year 2026, including:
-- Europe by more than 75% of sales
-- Japan by more than 55% of sales

Representing the next stage of Nissan's electrified future, the company today
also unveiled three new concept cars that offer enhanced experiences through
sophisticated technology packaging. These concepts showcase the thrilling
possibilities that Nissan strives to provide across a wide range of new
advanced vehicles and ecosystems.
Further details on these exciting concept cars are available on Nissan's
website (https://www.thenissannext.com/en/nissanfutures/index.html).
Increasing accessibility and innovation in mobility
Nissan's ambition is to support greater access to safe and exciting mobility.
To make progress towards this, Nissan will continue to evolve its lithium-ion
battery technologies and introduce cobalt-free technology to bring down the
cost by 65% by fiscal year 2028.
Nissan aims to launch EV with its proprietary all-solid-state batteries (ASSB)
by fiscal year 2028 and ready a pilot plant in Yokohama as early as fiscal year
2024. With the introduction of breakthrough ASSB, Nissan will be able to expand
its EV offerings across segments and offer more dynamic performance. By
reducing charging time to one-third, ASSBs will make EVs more efficient and
accessible. Further, Nissan expects ASSB to bring the cost of battery packs
down to $75 per kWh by fiscal year 2028 and aims to bring it further down to
$65 per kWh to achieve cost parity between EV and gasoline vehicles in the
future.
Nissan seeks to establish a global battery supply system to meet growing
customer vehicle demand and support the growing number of EVs in use. Working
with its partners, Nissan intends to increase its global battery production
capacity to 52 GWh by fiscal year 2026, and 130 GWh by fiscal year 2030.
Though Nissan Ambition 2030, the company also seeks to extend the benefits of
mobility by delivering its advanced driver-assistance and intelligence
technologies to more customers. These combined efforts will likewise support
Nissan's continued efforts to establish new mobility services and partnerships.
Nissan aims to expand ProPILOT technology to over 2.5 million Nissan and
INFINITI vehicles by fiscal year 2026. The company will also further develop
its autonomous vehicle technologies, aiming to incorporate next generation
LIDAR systems on virtually every new model by fiscal year 2030.
To meet the varying transportation needs of different countries, Nissan will
collaborate with the most suitable partners to realize new mobility services
for more efficient mobility in cities, as well as more sustainable mobility in
rural areas.
Global ecosystem for mobility and beyond
In addition to technology upgrade, Nissan will localize manufacturing and
sourcing to make EVs more competitive. Nissan will expand its unique EV Hub
concept, EV36Zero, which was launched in the UK to core markets including
Japan, China and the U.S. EV36Zero is a fully integrated manufacturing and
service ecosystem connecting mobility and energy management with the aim of
realizing carbon neutrality.
Ensuring vehicle batteries remain sustainable will also continue to be a
priority for Nissan based on its decade of repurposing and recycling expertise
with 4R Energy. The company intends to expand its battery refurbishing
facilities beyond Japan with new locations in Europe during fiscal year 2022,
and in the U.S. in fiscal year 2025. Nissan's refurbishing infrastructure will
support a circular economy in energy management, and the company aims to fully
commercialize its vehicle-to-everything and home battery systems in the
mid-2020s. In addition, the company will invest up to 20 billion yen by 2026
towards charging infrastructure.
As Nissan increases its pace of innovation in mobility, it intends to hire more
than 3,000 employees in advanced research and development globally while
continuing to upskill its current workforce. The company will also build on
collaboration across the Alliance to enable cost-savings and shared expertise
in areas such as carbon-neutral technologies, electrification, software and
services.
Beyond the Nissan NEXT transformation plan, the company will sustain its
business over the long-term, with consolidated operating profit margin above 5%.
