　In addition, they explained the "Long-Term Vision" announced the day before and the Japanese electrification action Blue Switch. As part of our blue switch activities, we are working to improve the technology of EV vehicles and propilots. This was an opportunity to deeply recognize that Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.’s challenge to solve social issues such as global warming and disaster countermeasures.

I felt once again that it was because I was able to respond to the changing environment one after another and working positively to move ahead. I was once again proud to see that Kanagawa Ward was the birthplace of Nissan and that more than 3,000 people are working at the Yokohama Plant.
　
　From now on, I'll do it!
