/top_stories/article/36421/print

Nissan Motor Co. announced Tuesday it will mass produce electric cars within the next five years, according to NPR.

Zero-emission electric cars will be available in two years for government fleets in the U.S. and Japan, Nissan Chief Executive Carlos Ghosn told NPR. By 2012, the cars will be in mass production.

“Ten, 20 or 30 percent lower emissions cannot be the only answer,” Ghosn told NPR, explaining the goal should be 100 percent lower emissions.

He said the company hopes to be a global leader in zero-emission vehicles.
