Nissan Motor Co. said Wednesday all of its new vehicles in key markets will be partly or fully electrified by the early 2030s in a bid to achieve the goal of net zero emissions by 2050.

Nissan identified the key markets as Japan, China, the United States and Europe.

The Japanese automaker said it "will pursue further innovations in electrification and manufacturing technology to make progress on the company's carbon neutrality goal."

In May last year, Nissan said in its medium-term business plan that 60 percent of its new cars in Japan will be electrified in fiscal 2023, but it did not provide specific targets for other major markets.
