The average noise produced by vehicles in Southeast Asian nations has reached 83dB, which is 50% beyond the recommended level by WHO's noise guidelines.
In a statement, Nissan ASEAN Regional Vice President Isao Sekiguchi said, "As ASEAN governments and business leaders adjust to the new normal in 2021, electrifying 250 million cars in ASEAN is a key step in creating a more sustainable future in Southeast Asia.

As the pioneer in electrified mobility, Nissan is committed to make this dream reality. But we cannot do this alone; Nissan Futures is the platform to discuss bold policies and business plans to dare the impossible."
