The cooperation of the two automakers will help Nissan soon introduce its first plug-in hybrid model in the US, while Mitsubishi plans to launch Nissan’s technology.
Designing and manufacturing a new car is always a big challenge, especially for famous automakers. An effective way to overcome those challenges is to establish a cooperative relationship, where each party contributes what they have to bring mutual benefits. Nissan, for example, has partnered with Honda and is currently partnering with Mitsubishi.
Nissan is taking advantage of lost time by introducing the first plug-in hybrid in the US. This vehicle uses a system developed by Mitsubishi engineers. In contrast, Mitsubishi also plans to launch its first electric car model in the US, using technology borrowed from Nissan. This is just the beginning of their ambitious projects.
These two companies are jointly developing an electric pickup truck for the US market. The vehicle will be produced in Mexico and will include both fully electric and plug-in hybrid versions. It is expected that this pickup truck will be launched from 2027 to 2031.
Although there is no specific information about the name of this new model, it could be an electric version of the Nissan Frontier. The Frontier has undergone a complete facelift for the 2022 model year, but now only has one engine choice. An electric option would be a notable breakthrough.
Nissan also announced a new plan called “The Arc”, which includes introducing 30 new car models over the next three years. In this way, they are upgrading their entire product line globally with new models and improved powertrains. Cooperating with Mitsubishi will help Nissan implement this plan successfully.
