Nissan Motor has promoted cost reductions such as sharing parts, and has announced plans to reduce the body price of EV = electric vehicles to the same level as engine vehicles by 2030.
As manufacturers around the world move to strengthen sales of EVs, the aim is to increase price competitiveness.
In addition to EVs, Nissan Motor is working on its own hybrid vehicles that generate electricity with the engine and are driven only by the motor.
Specifically, we will promote the sharing of parts such as motors and reduction gears in the "electric powertrain" that replaces the engine, and will reduce costs by 30% compared to before by making it possible to use it for both EV and hybrid vehicles. .
Through these efforts, the company aims to reduce the vehicle body price of hybrid vehicles to the same level as engine vehicles by 2026, and at the same time promote the practical use of next-generation batteries, so that EVs will be able to reach the same level as engine vehicles by 2030. We aim to bring it down.
The high price of EVs compared to engine vehicles is a hindrance to the spread of EVs, so the company is aiming to reduce the cost of electric vehicles as a whole.
In the field of EVs, where competition is intensifying worldwide, Toyota Motor Corporation is also accelerating the development of dedicated platforms for luxury car brands by 2026, and there is a growing movement to improve price competitiveness.
