Renault-Nissan to build new Brazil car plant-Ghosn

Reuters reported on Sept. 27 that Nissan was expected to announce a $1.5 billion Nissan factory in Brazil and that it might include electric vehicles and involve production of about 220,000 vehicles a year.

Science and Technology Minister Aloisio Mercadante said the government was studying electric vehicles to see if the existing electricity system can handle the needed generation capacity and to avoid simply transferring greenhouse gas emissions from cars in cities to coal-burning electricity plants elsewhere.
