The announcement is a component of the business plan for “The Arc” for the years 2024–2026.
- Nissan has announced a bold ambition to grow, adding 30 new cars by 2026.
- Electrification is a major component of the approach; sixteen new models have electrification.
- By 2030, the company hopes to reduce the cost of electric vehicles by thirty percent.
At the automaker’s three-year roadmap presentation on Monday, CEO Makoto Uchida disclosed that Nissan plans to introduce up to 30 new models in international markets by 2026, 16 of which would have electrified drivetrains. Following the rollout, 60 percent of Nissan’s global array of internal combustion engines (ICEs) will receive updates, assisting the business in reaching its target of one million more units sold annually.
In addition, Nissan wants to cut the price of next-generation electric cars by 30%, which will make it possible for EVs and ICE cars to be equally expensive by 2030.
In the official teaser film, a number of new models can be seen riding in formation. Even if the movie is purposefully dark, we can still recognise some of the models thanks to their distinct outlines and LED lighting signatures. Leading the pack are the newly unveiled Kicks, the next-generation Micra based on R5 design, the electric crossover that is expected to replace the ageing Leaf, and what looks to be a completely electric Juke.
In the rear, a slew of SUVs, many minivans, a few low-slung models, a midsize pickup, and a plethora of cars with the Infiniti brand are visible. It is plausible to surmise that these will include the next Patrol generation, which is expected to challenge the Land Cruiser, the redesigned Qashqai that is headed for Europe, the Elgrand minivan that is planned for the Japanese market, and a new version of the Skyline.
Nissan will introduce eight new models globally, all of which will be NEVs. Other countries where the models will make their debuts include China; the US and Canada; six European countries; Japan; China; India; Africa; Africa (two SUVs and a small ICE-powered car); Oceania (a one-ton pickup and an electric compact crossover).
Progressive Electrical Lighting
While the number of new ICE-powered vehicles (14) and electrified vehicles (16) will remain almost equal over the next two years, Nissan claims that its electrification investment will gradually rise to more than 70 percent by 2026. After all, the carmaker promised to introduce 34 electrified cars across the whole range of sectors between 2024 and 2030. Nissan’s worldwide model range will thus have 40% electrified by 2026 and 60% electrified by 2030.
Nissan claims that its investment in electrification will gradually climb to more than 70 percent by 2026, despite maintaining a nearly equal balance between ICE-powered (14) and electrified (16) car launches over the following two years. After all, the manufacturer has promised to introduce 34 electric vehicles across all market sectors between 2024 and 2030. Thus, by 2026, 40% of Nissan’s global model lineup will be electrified, and by 2030, that percentage will rise to 60%.
Nissan wants to increase profitability by lowering production costs when it comes to electric vehicles. In order to achieve this, they intend to use faster development cycles and modular manufacturing techniques to create EVs in “families,” with the aim of achieving a 30% cost reduction over the existing Nissan Ariya model. According to Nissan’s aim, EVs would become as affordable as automobiles with internal combustion engines (ICEs) by 2030.
Increased Targeted Sales
Nissan’s overall goal is to boost yearly sales by one million units from 2023 to 2026. This extra million is divided between three hundred and thirty extra units from North America, two hundred thousand units from China, ninety thousand units from Japan, and almost three hundred thousand more from Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Oceania.
The announcement is a component of “The Arc” business plan for 2024–2026. The President and CEO of Nissan, Makoto Uchida, stated: “The Arc plan shows our path to the future.” It demonstrates our ongoing development and aptitude for adjusting to shifting market situations. We will be able to drive value and competitiveness more quickly and thoroughly thanks to this plan. Nissan is responding decisively to the severe market volatility by implementing the new plan in order to guarantee profitability and sustained growth.
