Nissan wants to update 78% of its U.S. lineup and bring seven new cars to North America by 2026. Nissan’s three-year business plan calls for the release of 30 new models around the world, with about the same number of gas-powered and electric models. Nissan wants to make its next-generation E.V.s much cheaper by sharing the costs of development. It thinks that by 2030, the prices of E.V.s and ICE cars will be the same. Nissan has a new business plan for the next three years that includes releasing seven new cars in North America and other places. There will be room for more electric cars, the company says so that it will improve 78% of its current U.S. fleet during that time. It also has plans to spend $200 million on improving the combined customer experience in the U.S. It wants to sell 330,000 more units in North America in 2026 than it did in 2023. Nissan hasn’t said anything about the engines of the cars that will be sent to the U.S. yet. We do know that some of them will be electric, though, because Nissan wants to use plug-in hybrid cars along with an e-Power system. With the second drivetrain, the wheels will be moved by an electric motor or motors that use a gas engine that also works as a generator. The company does not sell any hybrid or plug-in hybrid cars in the United States at this time. Nissan also wants to release 30 new cars around the world in the next three years. Of these, 16 will be electric, and 14 will have gasoline engines. Because of these new models, the company thinks that electric cars will make up 40% of global sales in 2026 and 60% of global sales in 2030. Nissan wants to cut the prices of its upcoming line of electric cars by a large amount. The company says it will be able to cut the price of the next generation of E.V.s by 30% compared to the current Nissan Ariya by sharing development costs. With this plan, the company hopes to get the prices of its E.V.s and ICE cars to be the same by 2030. Production will start in 2027. Nissan has a two-part plan to “drive value and strengthen competitiveness.” It will also be important to have a wide range of products, better electricity access, new ways of manufacturing and engineering things, and strategic partnerships to boost foreign sales. Over the next three years, the company wants to sell 53% of its new cars around the world that are electric. The other 47% will be gas-powered. Nissan says that the plan for the company shows a clear way to get there. “It shows our ongoing progress and ability to adapt to changing market conditions,” said Makoto Uchida, CEO of Nissan. “With the help of this plan, we’ll be able to quickly and completely create value and competitiveness.” Nissan is responding strongly to the volatile market by putting a new plan into action to ensure long-term growth and profits.
