Nissan is to review its long-term CO2 emission reduction targets and has announced the introduction of an automatic transmission model with a clean-diesel engine for the Japanese market.

However, it said it was already reducing CO2 emissions through the development of electric vehicles, the introduction of clean diesel and fuel-efficient vehicles, and energy savings in manufacturing, logistics and facilities operations.
