Renault/Nissan's Carlos Ghosn sees emissions challenge as opportunity

Carlos Ghosn, the top executive in the Renault/Nissan alliance, says he considers the call for tougher regulations of CO2 emissions and better fuel economy not only a challenge but as an opportunity, according to thecarconnection.com

"I don't consider CO2 (regulations) or climate change as a (problem.) I see it as an opportunity. What you want is a car that's going to be a showcase for performance and performance is many kinds of things. Controlling CO2 is part of performance, fuel efficiency is part of performance. I think this a chance to adapt the car to the 21st Century," said Ghosn.

Ghosn said Renault/Nissan is putting a lot of emphasis on new batteries for electric vehicles because workable electric vehicles have to be considered part of the solution, he said.
