Japan's troubled automaker Nissan banks on hybrid e-power technology

Money-losing Japanese automaker Nissan is banking on its latest e-Power technology for a turnaround. A kind of hybrid, e-Power comes equipped with both an electric motor and gasoline engine, much like the Toyota Motor Corp. Prius. It's different from a Prius in that it doesn't switch back and forth between the motor and engine during the drive. That means the car always is running on its EV battery, ensuring a quiet, smooth ride. Nissan has a proud history of pioneering innovative technology that set us apart, Chief Technology Officer Eiichi Akashi told reporters on the sidelines of a test drive at its Grandrive course outside Tokyo. The advantage of e-Power vehicles is that they never need to be charged like EVs do. The owner just fuels up at a gas station and the car never runs out of a charge. Nissan Motor Corp., which racked up a USD 4.5 billion loss for the fiscal year through March, sorely needs a hot-seller, especially in the lucrative North American market. But the US mark

Nissan cuts 15% of global work force as Japan automaker sinks into losses

Nissan is slashing about 15 per cent of its global work force, or about 20,000 employees, as the Japanese automaker reported a loss for the fiscal year that just ended amid slipping vehicle sales in China and other nations. Nissan Motor Corp said it will reduce the number of its auto plants to 10 from 17, under what it called its recovery plan to carry out decisive and bold actions to enhance performance and create a leaner, more resilient business that adapts quickly to market changes. The Yokohama-based automaker said US President Donald Trump's tariffs on auto imports also hurt its results. Nissan is aiming to reduce its costs by 250 billion Yen (USD 1.7 billion) during the next fiscal year compared to the fiscal 2024 results that just ended in March. Nissan racked up a loss of 670.9 billion Yen (USD 4.5 billion) for the fiscal year through March, down from a 426.6 billion Yen profit recorded the previous fiscal year.
