La electrification of the automotive sector it has become a urgent need for brands. And not only that, but those who are not able to take the step with solvency could see their future complicated. In this race there are those that are better, regular and worse, but if there is something in which they all agree, it is their desire. Nissan is one of those that took the first step, although at the moment there is more talk of Volkswagen, Toyota or Honda.
La Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance It is one of the best positioned. Hence, the agreement between them is unanimous and unequivocal: gradually reduce the sale of internal combustion vehicles. And for this they have a plan that they presented very recently. However, the Japanese house has decided to take more steps to get ahead of its rivals.

The next step would be the end of the decade, with 100% of its sales mix. In addition, and indirectly, Nissan will follow the same path that Stellantis is already walking.
