“We are taking our vision to shape a safer and more resilient future for the Philippines through the Blue Switch campaign. We hope to address the needs and enrich the lives of Filipinos by leveraging the unique capabilities of electric vehicles for purposes beyond mobility,” Nissan Philippines President Juan Manuel Hoyos stated.

Nissan also unveiled the new Nissan Leaf at this year's PEVS. The new Leaf boasts a redesigned, modern exterior and interior design, as well as Nissan Intelligent Mobility features.
