Japan's Nissan has begun producing its first electric car aimed at China, according to media reports.
It plans a lower-priced electric model for next year and wants battery-powered vehicles to make up about a third of its sales in by 2022, according to the reports. "We're confident that the Sylphy Zero Emission rolling off the production line today will become a main player in the EV market," said Nissan CEO Hiroto Saikawa. "We're going to roll out a range of EVs that will appeal to customers within all market segments." China is the largest market for electric vehicles and new rules to cut pollution are expected to boost sales. Global automakers including Ford and General Motors are all working to develop electric cars in China.
