Nissan Launches Its Countdown

Nissan has unveiled its timetable for phasing out sales of internal combustion engine vehicles in Europe. And it’s already for tomorrow!

While many countries are debating when to ban the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles, Nissan continues its project to reach 100% electric vehicles sold in Europe by 2030. In this perspective, all new models launched on the continent will now be 100% electric.

Nissan launches its momentum with Micra

An announcement celebrated grandly with the unveiling of the Nissan “Concept 20-23”, a sporty and urban electric vehicle concept car commemorating the 20th anniversary of the opening of Nissan Design Europe’s (NDE) studio in Paddington, London. This highly successful study previews a brand-new compact vehicle that will succeed the iconic Micra as an entry model in the range.

At the nearby Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTCE), where the R&D team is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year, the latest British study on real-world autonomous driving, named evolvAD, is being deployed; it focuses on residential and rural areas, with support from the British government.

Globally, as part of Nissan’s Ambition 2030 program, Nissan plans to launch 27 electrified vehicles, including 19 fully electric vehicles, by 2030. During this period, the manufacturer will also introduce cobalt-free technology to reduce the cost of electric vehicle batteries by 65% by the 2028 fiscal year. If the Japanese manufacturer is right, we quite like this future!
