Nissan Motor Co. chief Carlos Ghosn announced Thursday the carmaker will add 1 million units to its global sales by the end of the 2004 business year by launching at least 28 new models worldwide.
The announcement is part of a three-year business plan through the end of September 2005, which according to Ghosn, is designed to take the once ailing automaker to a higher level of performance and secure profitable growth.
Of the envisaged 1 million additional sales, 300,000 units will come from Japan, another 300,000 from the United States, 100,000 from the European markets, and the remaining 300,000 will be from other global markets including Canada, Mexico, Brazil and Asian markets, the president and chief executive officer said.
