AFP, Paris :
Carmaker Renault-Nissan said Friday it will launch 12 all-electric cars over the next six years and equip dozens more with driverless technology.
Presenting the alliance’s new strategic plan to 2022, chairman Carlos Ghosn said Renault-Nissan is targeting car sales of 14 million units by that year, a rise of nearly 40 percent from current levels. “Electrified cars will represent more than 20 percent of the alliance’s sales” by 2022, Ghosn said.
Electrified cars are either all-electric or hybrids.
The projected sales target would take Renault-Nissan’s annual revenues to around $240 billion.
Sales last year were 10 million units.
The French-Japanese alliance, which now also includes Mitsubishi, is further hoping to double synergy savings from pooling resources in the alliance to about 10 billion euros ($12 billion) within six years, Ghosn said.
But he said there were no plans to consolidate the alliance into a single company or increase its members’ cross-shareholdings, saying the strategic plan would be “respecting the companies’ identities”.
