The number-two Japanese Automaker also plans to research, develop and sell gas-electric hybrid cars by the year 2010 attempting to catch up with it’s rivals Honda Motor Co. and Toyota Motor Corp. in the field of “green” eco-friendly vehicles, Nikkei said.
Nissan will partner with its French counter part Renault SA, to help speed up the expansion of its line-up of diesel cars and trucks, that are growing in demand globally, Nikkei said.
