Nissan began using low-carbon emission aluminum in its vehicles this year, committing to replace all parts of the metal in products by 2030. Nissan purchases low-CO2-emission aluminum sheets for vehicle panels from Kobe Steel and UACJ Corporation and plans to use the material for all aluminum parts globally to further reduce CO2 emissions.

For existing models, Nissan will begin sourcing wheels, chassis components, axle components, and wiring harnesses made of green aluminum in Japan, the United States, and Europe. All new models planned to be produced starting will use low-CO2-emission aluminum in fiscal 2027.
