Nissan is considering exporting cars built at a joint venture with its Chinese partner to Canada, which is opening up its market to electric vehicles made in China.
The Japanese carmaker aims to tap demand for low-cost, electrified vehicles manufactured in conjunction with Dongfeng Motor Group in several markets, including Brazil and Mexico — and potentially including Canada, Christian Meunier, Nissan’s head of the Americas, said in an interview.
“In Canada, the government has opened the door for some Chinese products,” he said, although he didn’t specify which Nissan Dongfeng models were under consideration for possible export to Canada, or how soon that might take place. “We’re looking at this.”
