Nissan made new statements about its future plans

Nissan has announced its new approach to developing electric powertrain systems under the name “X-in-1”.

Within the scope of the approach, the brand will share and modularize the basic components of EV and e-POWER powertrain systems. Thus, it will provide a 0% decrease in development and production costs by 2026 compared to 2019.

Nissan aims to further increase the competitiveness of EV and e-POWER vehicles with its X-in-1 approach. Nissan has developed a 3-in-1 powertrain prototype that modularizes the motor, inverter and reducer, which is planned to be used in EVs. In addition, the 5-in-1 prototype, which modularizes the generator and amplifier, is planned to be used in e-POWER vehicles.

The X-in-1 approach, which also includes 3-in-1, 5-in-1 and other possible versions, was developed to enable the production of EV and e-POWER key components on the same line.

In 2010, Nissan became the first automaker to mass market an EV, the Nissan LEAF. Nissan also takes into account and closely follows the expectations of EV customers around the world to continuously improve electric transition technologies. In 2016, the brand launched its unique e-POWER electric powertrain system, which uses EV technology to provide the same driving pleasure as an EV because it is a 0-motor powertrain.

Toshihiro Hirai, Senior Vice President of Powertrain and EV Engineering Development, said: “We have more than a decade of experience in developing and manufacturing electric systems. We are making the most of this expertise and know-how. Thanks to our innovations in electric powertrain development, we will continue to create new value for customers and make zero-motor vehicles (EVs and e-POWER) available as widely as possible.” he said.

Within the scope of the long-term Nissan Ambition 2030 vision, the company aims to develop its product range with 27 new electric models, 19 of which are electric, by fiscal 2030. Nissan aims to deliver the value of its electric vehicles to a wide range of customers by offering the most suitable models for each market at the most appropriate time.
