“When the market will shift, we will
follow.”
Offer a 4CV diesel and I might buy one
Japan’s Nissan Motor Corp and France’s Renault will wait to see the market’s preference between hybrid and diesel cars before deciding which to pursue, the automakers’ chief Carlos Ghosn said Wednesday.
The head of the two auto giants said Renault and Nissan were working with both hybrid and diesel technology but will produce cars according to consumer demand. “When the market will shift, we will follow.”
Ghosn hailed the coming new clean diesel technology, saying it “is extremely performant, not only in terms of fuel efficiency but also in terms of emissions. Nissan said in April it would sell its first clean diesel cars in the United States within three years.
Phew! Don’t know if I can stand such a torrid pace.
