The announcement was part of Nissan’s EV36Zero. This flagship EV hub aims to create a world-first EV manufacturing ecosystem centered in Sunderland, UK, which, as of this writing, now has up to £3 billion (about $3.780 billion) worth of investment. Ultimately, the goal is to establish a 100% EV lineup in Europe by 2030 – the same goes for the US.
“Exciting, electric vehicles are at the heart of our plans to achieve carbon neutrality. With electric versions of our core European models on the way, we are accelerating towards a new era for Nissan, for industry, and for our customers,” said Nissan president and CEO Makoto Uchida.
The new EVs will strengthen the brand’s Nissan Ambition 2030, aiming to launch 27 electrified models (including 19 BEVs) globally in the next seven years.
