Nissan is advancing technological development on the basis of this
future scenario. Specifically, it is concentrating its efforts on two pillars: zero
emission,*1 which involves widespread use of zero-emission vehicles in a
holistic approach to promote a sustainable society, and PURE DRIVE,*2 which
reduces CO2 emissions by developing fuel-efficient internal combustion
engine technologies and introducing them into the market.
Nissan has also calculated that it needs to reduce CO2 emissions from
its corporate activities by 80% by 2050 compared with levels in 2000.
Accordingly, it plans to continue its energy efficiency measures, leverage the
power storage ability of lithium-ion batteries and expand its use of
renewable energy.
