How The Nissan e-NV200 Electric Van Is Changing The World

The e-NV200 a real game changer.

That’s what the car manufacturer recently announced about its first pure Light Commercial Van.

Available as a 5-seater, as well as an LCV, the e-NV200 is renowned for its combination of notable zero-emission technology with best-in-class cargo volume. The result of these twin factors is a vehicle with a 40% lowering of service costs, and a 25% reduction in fuel costs when compared to diesel vehicles.

Jean-Pierre Diernaz, director of electric vehicles for Nissan Europe, said: ‘We believe e-NV200 will genuinely change the make-up of light van and taxi fleets as well as changing the environment in the heart of our cities. All of the 200,000 vans sold per year which never cover more than 100 km a day in their lifetime, could be replaced by e-NV200 without ever needing to stop to refuel during their working day. This simple fact, combined with the low running costs, capabilities and comfort make this a truly game-changing vehicle.’

2014 will see a concerted roll-out of the e-NV200, with Barcelona being the first European city to adopt the e-NV200 as part of its taxi fleet.
