Since going on sale in December 2010, the 100% electric Nissan LEAF has sold about 70,000 units (as of the end of June 2013), making Nissan the world leader in the EV market. As an automaker, it is our responsibility to help realize a sustainable mobility society through our zero-emission efforts. Nissan is moving forward with deep conviction to achieve fuller penetration of EVs, which use no fossil fuels and produce no emissions in operation.
For Infiniti, our premium luxury brand, we will roll out a new Q50, our top-selling sedan model, in major global markets to enhance the brand’s power and achieve solid growth. Meanwhile, to reach customers in the rising middle classes of booming emerging markets, we will release vehicles under the relaunched Datsun brand in early 2014 in India, followed by Indonesia and Russia and, at the end of the year, South Africa.
