Summary
Based on the presentation given by Mr. Eiichi AKAISHI, Managing Executive Officer, Alliance Global VP, Nissan Product Development Division No. 1, at the 6th Mechanical Components & Materials Technology Expo (Nagoya, Japan) on April 8, 2021, this paper summarizes the future direction of Nissan's product development. Nissan’s main direction is to concentrate on powertrain intelligence and 100% electrification of the driving force at the wheels. As a milestone, Nissan is electrifying every all-new vehicle offering in its key markets by the early 2030s. In addition to improving the marketability of individual batteries by adopting all-solid-state batteries in the 2020s, since it first launched EVs to market Nissan has envisioned and is actually developing an eco-system that includes external systems such as electric power generation systems and resource recycling.
