Default Nissan's Power 88 business plan

http://www.nissan-global.com/EN/NEWS...0627-01-e.html

YOKOHAMA, June 27, 2011 - Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., today announced a wide-ranging, six-year business plan that will accelerate the company's growth across new markets and segments. The plan for fiscal years 2011 to 2016, called "Nissan Power 88," is effective immediately.

The name of the plan emphasizes key corporate goals: Nissan will renew its focus on the overall customer experience through actions that elevate its brands' power and sales power. By the end of fiscal 2016, the company will aim to achieve a global market share of 8% and increase its corporate operating profit to a sustainable 8%.

Highlights of Nissan Power 88 reflect Nissan's clear, global vision and strategic direction through fiscal 2016:
  • Nissan's extended new product plan will deliver, on average, an all-new vehicle every six weeks for six years. The company's global portfolio will have 66 vehicles and will cover 92% of all markets and segments.
  • The emphasis on sustainable mobility will continue, encompassing zero-emission vehicles and low-emission technologies that support PURE DRIVE. Cumulative electric vehicle sales for the Renault-Nissan Alliance will reach 1.5 million units.
  • "Mobility for all" will expand with dedicated new cars and light commercial vehicles (LCVs) developed for entry-level segments and emerging markets.
  • Nissan will introduce more than 90 new, advanced technologies, averaging 15 per year.
  • "Nissan Power 88 is the roadmap for our company's profitable growth," said Nissan President and Chief Executive Officer Carlos Ghosn. "We will accelerate our growth, bringing more innovation and excitement to our products and services as well as cleaner, more affordable cars for everyone around the world, in line with the energy and environmental challenges of the 21st century."

Nissan will increase investments in its brands and retail networks to enhance its customers' entire ownership experience. Nissan currently has 6,000 major points of sales globally; the retail network will expand to 7,500 in the midterm plan period.

Business expansion will focus on growth markets and further developing the company's Infiniti and light commercial businesses.
  • In 2012, Nissan will have a production capacity of 1.2 million units in China. China has become - and will continue to be - Nissan's largest single global market. Nissan aims for a 10% share of the Chinese market. Nissan will also increase its presence in Brazil, Russia and India, as well as in the next wave of emerging markets.
  • In Brazil, Nissan will build a new plant, with a capacity of 200,000 units as a first step.
  • Nissan NV200's selection as New York City's "Taxi of Tomorrow" illustrates the company's momentum in the LCV field. By 2016, Nissan will be the world's leading light commercial vehicle manufacturer.
  • The Infiniti premium brand will grow from its 2010 sales level of 150,000 vehicles to 10% of global market share among luxury brand segments, a level today that would represent 500,000 vehicles.1 Infiniti will be present in more than 70 markets with a product range of at least 10 vehicles.

"Nissan Power 88 is a demanding business plan, but our company has a proven track record of achieving challenging objectives," said Mr. Ghosn.
Very strong move by Nissan to gain more marketshare. Too many "Japan Inc" corporations nowadays don't have the ambition or will to be more proactive against the competition, unlike in the 1980's or 1990's. It is refreshing to see a Japanese corporation that is taking an aggressive business plan in spite of tougher competition globally.

Very ambitious and very good stuff

Infiniti will have "a product range of at least 10 vehicles." Wow! G, M, EX, FX, JX and QX would mean that there are still another 4 vehicles in the pipeline, though we don't know if the 10 number includes variants such as coupes (G) or hybrids (M).

Looking forward to it!

new car every six weeks.....does it mean new model or just the trim level or both.

With a"big Infiniti logo" on Redbull F1 team and on the lead at this moment, Infiniti need a super car that represent its sportness and performace.....I'm tire hearing g37 coupe smoked by M3/Evo/STI.........

Great news from Nissan, looking forward to it. For all the rabid Hyundai/Kia bandwagon jumping, I'm far more impressed with Nissan's turnaround.
