While
numerous executives at Nissan
have been hybrid skeptical,
Nissan is still going to begin
a five year green program
which will include the
production of hybrid vehicles,
electric vehicles, fuel cell
vehicles, and bio-ethanol
vehicles. While Nissan remains
a bit cautious regarding hybrid
cars and their electric
motors, the company has also
acknowledged that electric
motors very well could replace
internal combustion engines.
In 2007, Nissan will offer the
Altima
hybrid in some states, but
that hybrid is mainly being
built to meet the tougher
emissions requirements in some
states, and the hybrid Altima
is being built from leased
Toyota technology.
