Addressing media at the Geneva Motor Show 2016, Renault-Nissan Alliance Chief Executive Carlos Ghosn presented his views on a number of trends that are impacting the automotive industry.

Ghosn also touched on the importance of electrification, highlighting the annual sales target of 100,000 EV sales for the Alliance as “an important milestone.”
