Although we do not see much of Nissan’s electric vehicles in our country, the company is famous for its electric vehicles in the world. In recent years, there has been great sympathy for electric vehicles in the automobile industry, and some manufacturers have announced the date that they will say goodbye to internal combustion engines. Nissan will also take the radical step of abandoning internal combustion engines.
According to the information received, the company will focus on the development of electric cars instead of spending time on internal combustion engines.
Nissan halts engine production R&D
Recently, we have heard from many manufacturers that the production lines reserved for internal combustion engines will be emptied. By 2030, the overwhelming majority of cars in the world are expected to become electrified. At this stage, let’s add that we will say goodbye to hybrid cars. The new company that was heard to develop only electric cars in the near future was Nissan. Although the Korean company denies this, according to Nikkei Asia’s report, this transformation is taking place secretly.
Nissan’s internal combustion engine cars are currently on sale. Nissan, which sells many of its vehicles with internal combustion engines in our country, will not do this in the future if the rumors are true.
This development does not mean that non-electric cars will be hastily removed from sale or production. We can only say that new non-electric car designs have been given a brake. In particular, most of the cars produced after 2025 are expected to be electric.
The United States is excluded from this decision.
Although the center of the electric car return may seem like the USA, this is not quite true. Although Tesla is a US manufacturer, the American people’s preference for passenger cars is actually quite nature killer. Most of the society has high-volume vehicles such as 5.0L, and these vehicles in the pickup class cause a lot of damage to the nature.
However, it is not possible to suppress this request at the moment. Internal combustion engines will continue in this class, as it is currently difficult to convert highly demanding pickup trucks to all-electric. Again, the report of the same source emphasizes this.
