LONDON : Nissan Motor Co said on Monday that as of now all new models it launches in Europe will be fully electric and it plans to sell only electric vehicles on the continent by 2030.
The Japanese carmaker said that one of two new EV models it has already confirmed for Europe will be manufactured at its Sunderland plant in northern England. Nissan also previously said that by its fiscal 2026 year ending March 31, 2027, 98 per cent of its sales in Europe would be electrified - meaning either fully-electric cars or hybrids, which have both a large battery and a combustion engine.
