TOKYO : Japanese automaker Subaru Corp laid out targets for selling and making battery electric vehicles on Thursday, aiming for global sales of 200,000 units a year by around 2026 as it seeks to tap into the growing EV market.
Half of that capacity will come from a mixed-production line of gasoline and electric vehicles where the company plans to kick off battery EV production from its own line around 2025, said Atsushi Osaki, a Subaru executive vice president who is set to take over as the company's chief executive in June.
