Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. has announced that it will stop developing new engines for gasoline-powered vehicles for the European market.
As environmental regulations become stricter in Europe, it seems that it will be costly to continue development and manufacturing, and the strategy is to concentrate R & D expenses on electric vehicles such as EV = electric vehicles.
With regard to the development of engines for gasoline-powered vehicles, automobile manufacturers around the world are also reducing their investment, and the response to electrification is accelerating.
