Speaking at the recent Automotive News World Congress, Nissan CEO Hiroto Saikawa said Infiniti — Nissan’s luxury-vehicle division — is to introduce new vehicles with electrified powertrains from 2021.

A mix of pure electric vehicles (EVs) and e-Power vehicles will be offered, and Infiniti expects this emphasis on ultra-low-emission technology will result in more than half its global sales comprising electric vehicles by 2025.

The company’s e-Power technology features a small petrol engine that charges a high-output battery, eliminating the need for an external charging source; this provides the convenience of re-fuelling with petrol, while offering the same driving experience as a pure EV.
