Our company CTO Hirai, appeared in the program “New Project X – Challengers – Automobile Revolution Connected with Friends – World’s First! Thank you very much.
The world’s first Japanese car was the world’s first five-seater electric vehicle, with annual production of more than 10,000 units. The EV was developed by engineers in a shady department that “could not generate profits. Despite the repeated changes in company policy and the challenges posed by Carlos Ghosn, the president at the time, these engineers never gave up, believing that their time would surely come. This is the secret story of the development of a revolution that was achieved through the power of friendship that grew out of repeated clashes at times.
