Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. today announced production, sales and export figures for September and for the six months from April to September 2018.
A key sales trend in the six-month period was growing demand for Nissan’s electrified vehicles. The e-POWER system helped the Nissan Note become the No. 1 new registered vehicle in Japan during the period, while the new Nissan LEAFwas the best-selling electric car in Europe in each of the first eight months of 2018. In September, the Nissan Sylphy Zero Emission went on sale in China to meet the strong demand for electric cars among Chinese customers.
“Once again, the results show that customers are choosing Nissan’s electrified powertrains to make their drive more exciting and their lives better,” said Executive Vice President Daniele Schillaci, Nissan’s global head of marketing and sales. “We look forward to moving more people to a better world under our Nissan Intelligent Mobility vision.”
