⺠Nissan's recovery plans in the post-Ghosn era
⺠EVs, Europe, SUVs... but no Z sports car for Europe
Is Nissan pulling out of Europe? Ashwani Gupta, Nissanâs global chief operating officer, says not. âEurope is a very important market for us,â he stresses. But â and this is a critical distinction â itâs not a âcoreâ market, rubbing tectonic plates with China, Japan and the United States.
Thatâs partly because Europe has pulled out of Nissans. In 2017, the region registered 566,191 cars from the brand whose Qashqai and Juke popularised the crossover. Two years on, sales slumped to 394,091, in a stable, pre-coronavirus market.
