Next-generation X-in-1 electric powertrain
Further commonize and modularize core EV and e-POWER components, with the goal of reducing the cost of e-POWER to that of ICE vehicles by 2026
Nissan's current electrification strategy is based around with two pillars: electric vehicles (EVs) and e-POWER. Our development of the X-in-1 next-generation electric powertrain will promote the spread of EVs through the pleasure of a 100％ motor-driven experience and the sharing and modularization of core components. These efforts will enable us to develop electrification technologies more efficiently by applying the knowledge gained from EVs to e-POWER and vice versa.
Commonized use and modularization of core components
The EV and e-POWER electric powertrains are 100% motor-driven and are unique to Nissan. Since both only use motors, core components can be commonized. The modularization of the X-in-1 will result in improved performance, reduced weight, smaller size, and better noise and vibration control through integration. Additionally, sharing core components will lead to cost reductions. Our aim is to reduce the cost of parts and production by 30% compared to 2019.
