DETROIT (Reuters) - Japanese carmkaker Nissan Motor plans to transform its upscale Infiniti brand into a primarily electrified vehicle offering, Chief Executive Hiroto Saikawa said on Tuesday.
All new Infiniti models launched in or after 2021 will be either electric or so-called "e-Power" hybrids, Saikawa told the Automotive News World Congress in Detroit.
"We are going to make Infiniti the premium and highly electrified brand," he said.
