We continued to see signs of recovery in April, as we strive to ensure sustainable growth  and benefits for our partners, customers, and business in China,” said Shohei Yamazaki,  senior vice president of Nissan, chairman of the Management Committee for China and  president of Dongfeng Motor Ltd. (DFL).  

He added that the company is on track to introduce several new models in China in coming  months, including the all-new Nissan e-Power X-Trail and Qashqai, unveiled at the recent  2023 Shanghai Motor Show, which are all equipped with Nissan’s cutting-edge  technologies to “meet the diversified needs of Chinese customers.”
