Toyota, Nissan secures Govt. certification for advanced BEV technologies

MANILA: Toyota Motor Corporation and Nissan Motor Corporation Limited have both received certifications from the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) in connection to the two company’s efforts in further developing battery electric vehicle (BEV) technology. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • When is Toyota planning to launch a new electric vehicle based on its next-generation batteries?

    Toyota is planning to launch an all-new electric vehicle that uses its next-gen batteries in 2026.
  • When will Nissan start using lithium-iron-phosphate batteries for its all-electric mini-vehicles?

    Nissan will start using lithium-iron-phosphate batteries for its electric mini-vehicles starting in fiscal year 2028.
  • Specifically, Toyota’s certification is linked to its plans to further develop and produce next-generation high-performance batteries in cooperation with several Japanese energy technology companies. 

    The Nagoya-headquartered car manufacturer’s certification also allows for the development and production of solid-state batteries

    In the case of Nissan, the certification allows the company to carry out its plan of expanding its capacity for lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery production. 

    The METI certification also outlined the planned battery production scale for both manufacturers. For Toyota, it is set at 9 gigawatt hours (GWh) per year. Meanwhile, Nissan’s production scale, as dictated by its certification, is at 5 GWh per year.  

    To note, the two car companies’ procurement of government certification in relation to battery development and production is seen as a sign of Japan’s collective advancement in the mobility and automotive industry.

    For example, Toyota’s upcoming next-gen battery will be used by a new model, which will be launched in 2026. It is touted to feature a cruising range of 1,000 kilometers and a rapid charging rate of 10-80 percent in just 20 minutes. 

    Furthermore, the automotive firm says its solid-state batteries will boast enhanced durability, as well as a 20 percent increase in overall range. 

    Nissan’s LFP batteries, on the other hand, are said to be more economical to produce since they don’t use cobalt. Per the brand, the said battery type will be utilized starting in fiscal year 2028  by its lineup of domestically sold mini or “kei” electric-powered vehicles.
