YOKOHAMA, Japan — In a push to sell less-costly, better-performing electrified vehicles, Nissan is planning a next-generation electric powertrain lineup that will debut in 2026.
The new technology will enable Nissan to achieve price parity between its internal-combustion offerings and its e-Power hybrid offerings in 2026 and its full-electric and gasoline-burning vehicles in 2030, executives said at a briefing Wednesday.
The advance will give Nissan an integrated powertrain unit that is 10 percent smaller in size and costs 30 percent less to produce. It will be used across full-electric offerings and e-Power vehicles, replacing a patchwork of different powertrains currently in use.
