Nissan names new China head

Nissan Motor Co. is doubling down on its push in China, naming one of its top executives to head operations in a market the carmaker expects to be its biggest growth driver over the next five years.

Chief Performance Officer Jose Munoz, promoted to his current role more than a year ago, will take on added responsibility as head of Nissan’s China operations, the Japanese automaker said Wednesday. Makoto Uchida, currently head of purchasing, will become president of Dongfeng Motor Co., Nissan’s China joint venture.

China is poised to become Nissan’s single biggest market within five years, contributing almost a third of its targeted revenue of 16.5 trillion yen (USD155 billion) by 2022. The carmaker intends to spend 1 trillion yen in China over the period as it vies with global rivals including Volkswagen AG and General Motors Co. to become the largest electrified vehicle maker in the country, which is focused on putting more of such models on the road to reduce emissions.
