SYNOPSIS: Economic crisis has perfectly positioned company to benefit from government loans thanks to its big push in zero-emission cars.

TOKYO - Nissan Motor Co. said on Wednesday that while the economic crisis had hammered automakers, the company is in a perfect position to benefit from government loans thanks to its big push in the field of zero-emission cars.

I am not convinced that Nissan is for real. A few months ago, they announced that they would begin selling a plug-in hybrid in 16 U.S. markets in 2010. The car will get 100 miles of battery-only range, the press release said.

I am in one of the 16 markets that they named, so I went to a Nissan dealer to ask about the vehicle. No one had heard of it, and when I tried to research it on the Internet there was nothing. Nissan's websites don't mention the vehicle.

Unfortunately, the electric car market is a lot of talk and very little action.
