Nissan and Mitsubishi are using technology developed by Mitsubishi on the discontinued i-MiEV to tap huge Japanese demand for all-electric runabouts in the minicar segment.

Marelli is seeking the cancellation of about 450 billion yen ($3.3 billion) in debt out of total obligations of about 1.13 trillion yen, as part of a wider restructuring, sources say.

A key group has avoided close scrutiny of their role in the once-powerful Carlos Ghosn's downfall: the lawyers.

Ghosn said of Renault's current management, including CEO Luca de Meo, who is leading the automaker's revival strategy, "It's all very well to make announcements about plans, but strategy is only 5 percent."

Greg Kelly, accompanied by his wife, Dee, was escorted to Tokyo’s Haneda Airport, by the U.S. Ambassador to Japan, Rahm Emanuel, and checked in to a flight for home.

Kelly said coming home after his three-year legal odyssey in Japan was “like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz,” as he choked up with emotion during a press conference from Nashville. “There’s no place like home,” he said.

Ghosn, the fugitive automotive icon, says the Tokyo court’s conviction of his onetime deputy Greg Kelly is a “warning” to foreigners doing business in Japan.

The Ariya, Nissan's second EV-only model after the Leaf hatchback, will now go on sale on May 12 in Japan.

The Nissan Z car, a 400-hp, twin-turbo symbol of the struggling Japanese automaker's revival, is the latest product launch to be derailed by global supply chain woes.

Nissan COO Ashwani Gupta says it is better to limit orders to what can be delivered in a timely manner rather than to potentially aggravate Ariya customers by making them wait too long.

A Tokyo court is about to render a verdict on former Nissan director Greg Kelly in a closely watched ruling that has become a lightning rod of corporate and diplomatic maneuvering. The trial began in September 2020.

The appeal filing comes just days after the American – free from Japan on a suspended sentence – had a tearful homecoming to Tennessee and ensures his years-long legal odyssey will drag on.

To crack the code of building low-cost electric vehicles, Japan's automakers intend to leverage their skills at tried-and-true lean manufacturing and kaizen.

In handing Greg Kelly a six-month suspended sentence and fining Nissan, a Tokyo court seemed intent on issuing a proxy judgment for Carlos Ghosn in absentia.

French prosecutors claim Ghosn, as well as four others, enriched the former CEO of Nissan and Renault by steering Renault funds through an Oman vehicle distributor.

There are no signs of any imminent structural change in the three-way alliance that includes Mitsubishi Motors Corp.

U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel said: "We are relieved that the legal process has concluded, and Mr. and Mrs. Kelly can return home." Carlos Ghosn told journalists on a video call: “He’s obviously an innocent man."

The executive-turned-international fugitive has grown even more pessimistic about the prospects of Nissan and Renault in the 11 months since his book was first published.

Indicted former Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn says he is stepping up the campaign to reclaim his legacy, calls Nissan "boring" and says its alliance with Renault is a "zombie."

Dubai-based Al Dahana accused the automaker of reneging on its contractual obligations in relation to the distribution of vehicles in the region.

Kenji Shimotsu just handed down a harsh jail term to a 90-year-old defendant in another case.

The Nissan Ariya electric crossover has been a long time coming to market. But Automotive News finally got a test drive in Japan.

The alliance partners, together with Mitsubishi, are expected to launch more than 30 new full-electric models by 2030 on five common platforms and invest more than $23 billion on EVs.

By 2029, just 14 percent of Toyota’s worldwide production is forecast to be full-electric, rising to 18 percent for Honda and 22 percent for Nissan, according to research released from climate think tank InfluenceMap.

Prosecutors made the case against the American defendant  as they delivered their closing argument in the long-running trial.
