Nissan recently announced its plans to streamline the assembly of parts that propel its vehicles, using the same core components across different models and modularized powertrains that include multiple components in a single unit. The strategy is set to reduce the cost of the company’s EVs and hybrid models as well as the use of expensive raw materials, reinforcing Nissan’s shift to electrification.

A new approach to powertrains

In what Nissan is calling its “X-in-1” development strategy, the company plans to apply the same powertrain components, such as electric motors and inverters, across various models as well as modularizing multiple core components into single units.

Through this method, Nissan has developed a 3-in-1 powertrain prototype intended for use in its electric vehicles, which modularizes the motor, inverter, and reducer. A 5-in-1 prototype, which additionally modularizes the generator and increaser, is planned for incorporation into its hybrid vehicles.

According to the company, this new powertrain production approach will lower development and manufacturing costs by as much ...
... as 30% in 2026 as compared to 2019 levels and increase the competitiveness of its EV and hybrid vehicles.

In addition, by using the new production strategy, the firm says it will reduce the size and weight of each powertrain unit and thus minimize noise and vibration, improving the overall driving experience.

Senior Vice President Toshihiro Hirai, who leads powertrain & EV engineering development, said: “We make the most of our expertise and know-how from our more-than-a-decade long development and production of electrified technologies. Through our innovations in electrified powertrain development, we’ll continue to create new value for customers and deliver 100% motor-driven vehicles – EVs and e-POWER – as widely as possible.”
