The company aims to achieve annual sales of 1 million units in both the US and China by fiscal year 2030.
In Japan, the company aims to sell 550,000 units annually during the same period.
This approach forms part of Nissan’s long-term vision, ‘Mobility Intelligence for Everyday Life,’ which focuses on a customer-driven strategy built around AI-defined vehicles and widespread electrification.
Nissan plans to incorporate AI into vehicle control and safety systems in its technology roadmap.
This brings together technologies from Nissan AI Drive and Nissan AI Partner to improve mobility and the in-car experience.
The next-generation ProPILOT system, designed with end-to-end autonomous driving capabilities, will be installed on the new Nissan Elgrand, scheduled to go on sale in summer 2026.
Full functionality is expected to be available by the end of 2027.
Electrification remains a key focus of the plan.
The company plans to expand its e-POWER hybrid offering and introduce a wide range of electric powertrain combinations through partnerships, including frame-based vehicle systems, plug-in hybrids, and range extenders.
Nissan will organize its portfolio into four categories: Heartbeat, Core, Growth and Partner, clarifying the role of each model and accelerating its development schedule.
The company is also moving toward an architecture-driven industrial model based on the Nissan product family strategy.
Three core product families account for more than 80% of global sales volume, with model-specific sales volume expected to increase by more than 30%.
Nissan added that its “Re:Nissan” plan remains on track in its final year, improving its cost structure, production capacity and product momentum to support future growth.
“Now is the perfect time to clarify Nissan’s long-term vision as we look beyond our Re:Nissan plan and set a clear path for the future,” said Ivan Espinosa, Nissan President and CEO. “Our vision defines where Nissan is headed, with customer experience as our priority.”
“By evolving mobility intelligence, we will deliver products and technologies that are safer, more intuitive, more accessible, with exceptional value and a more rewarding overall experience.”
