Nissan Motor Co. confirms it will join other Japanese carmakers in phasing out diesel engines in passenger vehicles sold in Europe.
The carmaker says it will discontinue diesels gradually as it focuses on expanding its sales of electrified vehicles in the region. Toyota said two months ago it will end diesel sales in Europe by the end of 2018. Subaru plans to stop introducing new European diesel models by about 2020.
Nissan’s decision is based on tightening rules for diesels in Europe. Another factor is the announced plans of several cities and some countries in the region to eventually ban diesels outright. Nissan predicts that EVs will generate half its sales in Europe by 2025.
Nissan sold 128,500 diesels in Europe last year, or about 16% of its total sales there, according to Bloomberg News.
