BEIJING (Reuters) - Nissan Motor Co's incoming chief executive Makoto Uchida told employees in a video message on its internal website on Friday that his mission is to "restore business performance and regain trust in Nissan," according to a transcript of the message viewed by Reuters.

Named CEO earlier this month, Uchida is expected to formally take up the post by January 1, 2020.
