Nissan to Export China-Developed EVs Globally

Japanese Automaker Announces Joint Research Center with Tsinghua University Amid Rising Competition in China's EV Market

Nissan plans to export electric vehicles (EVs) developed and manufactured in China to global markets, aiming to compete with Chinese rivals such as BYD.
The Japanese automaker has announced a joint research center with China's Tsinghua University, focusing on EV research including charging infrastructure and battery recycling.
Nissan's move is in response to the rapid shift to EVs in China, where domestic brands have gained significant market share.
The company is joining other foreign brands like Tesla, BMW, and Ford in exploiting China's lower manufacturing costs to increase their exports.
Nissan's sales in China accounted for just over a fifth of its worldwide sales of about 2.8 million vehicles over the first 10 months of the year.
