As part of its Nissan Ambition 2030 plan, the automaker aims to launch 27 new electrified models , including 19 electric cars, by 2030. To continue this ambitious program, Nissan has decided to implement a new approach to the development of its electrified powertrains with the aim of reducing costs. New approach that the builder called "X-in-1". According to reports, the main components of the EV and e-POWER powertrains will be shared and designed to be modular, with a 30% reduction in development and production costs compared to 2019. All by 2026.

In practice, the principal components will be standardized to be able to be used within different contexts. Nissan then added that around 2026, thanks to this work, it expects to be able to offer the e-POWER models at the same price as the endothermic ones.

REDUCING COSTS

Nissan emphasizes that by leveraging this approach, it aims to make it more efficient in the future. its electrified models are competitive thanks to the reduction of costs. This strategy dedicated to the powertrains of the electric and e-POWER models, in addition to reducing costs, will allow the to get to develop units – more read, more; small and with better performance.


Furthermore, this new construction philosophy will allow the to Nissan to be able to build the main shared components of the electrified powertrain within the same production line. The Japanese brand has already developed a prototype of a 100% electric powertrain "3 in 1" with motor, inverter and gearbox. For e-POWER vehicles, on the other hand, it is a "5 in 1" composed of motor, inverter, reducer, multiplier and electric generator modules.


The automaker has also added that it will introduce a new car. a new electric motor in which the use of rare earths is reduced to 1% of the weight of the magnet, which has significant implications for the sustainability of the magnet. of its supply chain. Toshihiro Hirai, Senior Vice President, responsible for electrified powertrain development, commented:

We make the most of our experience and know-how in the development and production of electrified technologies. Through our innovations in the development of electrified powertrains, we will continue to create new value for customers.
