Nissan unveils "The Arc," a global business plan focusing on its AMIEO region (Africa, Middle East, India, Europe, Oceania). The plan emphasizes electrification, strategic partnerships, and regional growth, targeting increased sales and introducing new EVs and ICE vehicles.

Introduction

Nissan, a prominent player in the automotive industry, is set to embark on a transformative journey across its diverse AMIEO region (Africa, Middle East, India, Europe, and Oceania) under the banner of "The Arc," its new global business plan aimed at driving value and strengthening competitiveness.

Nissan's strategic roadmap, "The Arc," serves as a bridge between its FY20-23 Nissan NEXT business transformation plan and the long-term Ambition 2030 vision. It delineates a multifaceted approach encompassing a broad-based product offensive, heightened electrification, innovative engineering and manufacturing methodologies, integration of new technologies, and strategic partnerships to bolster global sales and enhance profitability.

Aligned with Nissan's global strategy, the AMIEO region assumes a pivotal role in driving volume growth through a meticulously tailored regional strategy. The overarching aim is to expedite the transition to Electric Vehicles (EVs) while maintaining a balanced electrified/Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) product portfolio, fostering volume growth in key markets, and exercising financial prudence.

Key Initiatives and Targets

Nissan aims to bolster annual global sales by 1 million units, with the AMIEO region poised to contribute nearly one-third of this target, amounting to 300,000 units. Notably, the region will witness the launch of five new EVs and six new ICE vehicles, including renowned models such as the LEAF, thereby fortifying Nissan's market presence and customer appeal.

Guillaume Cartier, Chairperson of Nissan AMIEO, underscores the significance of "The Arc" in propelling the region towards a promising future marked by growth, adaptability, and competitiveness.

Strategic Partnerships

Nissan's commitment to fortifying competitiveness and diversifying its product portfolio is underscored by strategic collaborations. In Europe, the Alliance with Renault/Ampere will introduce a new Compact EV and two LCVs.

Electrification Progress

The electrification drive is set to permeate all AMIEO sub-regions, with Europe spearheading Nissan's global electrification strategy. By 2026, Nissan anticipates that over 40% of its sales mix in Europe will comprise 100% electric vehicles and 75% electrified vehicles. Moreover, the commencement of electric vehicle production at the Sunderland plant in the UK marks a significant milestone in realizing Nissan's EV36Zero vision.

Vision for Electric Ecosystem

Nissan's vision for an electric ecosystem encompasses the commercialization of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology, facilitating bidirectional energy flow between EVs and the electricity grid. The integration of AC bi-directional capability in Nissan EVs, coupled with affordable two-way home chargers, not only unlocks new revenue streams but also enhances sustainability and customer experience.

Sub-region Highlights
