Last year, its sales of vehicles (all types) reached 1.52 million units.<\/p>\n<p>DFL says it plans to introduce 20 electrified models under its four brands by 2022, both EV + e-POWER (petrol-electric drivetrain) vehicles. By 2022, 30% of DFL sales are expected be EV and e-POWER products.<\/p>\n<p>The company is also greening its manufacturing operations, with\u00a0 three solar farms to be established and various energy efficiency strategies implemented aiming to achieve a 20% reduction in energy consumption. Intelligent water systems will contribute to a 35% reduction in water consumption and upgrades to 27 paint facilities will result in VOC (volatile organic compounds) emissions slashed by 50%.<\/p>\n<p>Looking past manufacturing, advanced\u00a0 battery regeneration technology will be integrated into its operations, with refurbished EV batteries to be used in energy storage applications for local communities and industry.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;China&#8217;s automotive industry is facing a period of strategic opportunity,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.nissan-global.com\/releases\/dongfeng-motor-green-plan-includes-20-electrified-models-by-2022\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> Uchida Makoto, Nissan global senior vice president and DFL president. &#8220;By developing new energy vehicles and managing the process in a green and sustainable manner, DFL is seizing the opportunity.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/business-45084671\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BBC report<\/a> stated approximately four million electric vehicles are now on the road globally.
