Nissan acknowledges its need for improvement in terms of fast product development and staying competitive in the market.
The company plans to address its slow pace by focusing on reducing product development time from 55 months to 37 months for the first car in a family, and even further for subsequent models.
Nissan lags behind Western competitors and Chinese automakers who can develop new cars in a shorter time frame.
While Nissan is making efforts to catch up, the execution of the turnaround plan and cultural adaptation remain the real challenges.
