Nissan announces record electric vehicle fleet sales in Europe
- Record year for #nissan Europe electric vehicle (EV) fleet sales, up 45 percent in FY15
- High-volume fleet deals across Europe demonstrate Nissan’s position as one of the most popular #ev providers for businesses
- More than 20,000 #nissan EVs sold to fleet customers across Europe since launch
- Nissan #leaf continues to lead the #ev segment globally, with almost 220,000 units sold
PARIS (France), 19th April 2016: Nissan’s electric vehicle (EV) offering remains the popular choice for fleet operators across Europe, with sales of the #nissan #leaf and e-NV200 in the fleet market climbing for a fourth consecutive year in fiscal year 2015.
Up 45 percent on the previous fiscal year, #nissan sold more than 7,500 LEAFs and e-NV200s to fleet operators and municipalities in Europe, commanding a 28 percent share of the pure electric fleet market. With over 20,000 #nissan EVs sold to fleet customers across Europe since launch, it’s clear that business owners are switching on to the benefits of zero emission mobility.
Offering optimum practicality and driving comfort combined with low running costs, the #nissan #leaf and e-NV200 are truly viable options for fleet operators across the region. Costing approximately €0.03 per kilometre to run, owners also benefit from low maintenance costs that make for unrivalled total cost of ownership. With fewer moving parts, #nissan EVs provide estimated maintenance costs up to 40 percent lower than petrol or diesel alternatives. Furthermore, many European fleet owners can also benefit from varied incentives offered by governments across the continent, all whilst saving on energy consumption; providing a cost-effective, simple solution to reduce their carbon footprint.
Gareth Dunsmore, Director of Electric Vehicles for #nissan Europe: “It’s great to see #nissan #ev fleet demand going from strength-to-strength as businesses catch on to the many marked advantages electric vehicles have to offer. #nissan not only offers a great pure electric range for businesses, but we have also employed #ev fleet specialists in most European countries, trained to provide advice and support to customers, offering analysis of total ownership costs and charging infrastructure. This strategy has proved incredibly effective at assisting businesses who are interested in zero emission technology, but need some guidance on making the switch to zero emission motoring.
“Now with the introduction of the new-to-sector #nissan #leaf 30 kWh, fleet customers will be able to travel even further, helping to meet businesses demands with an extended 250 km range.”
Postal services are among the many service providers that have been particularly quick to take advantage of the clear benefits associated with switching to electric. Österreichische Post AG, the Austrian state postal authority, already utilises 160 e-NV200s and has recently confirmed an order for 100 additional units.
Many public bodies and government organisations across Europe have also decided to lead by example and convert their fleets to zero emission vehicles. In the UK, #nissan has sold over 350 EVs to public entities and the City of Bari in Italy has just launched a car sharing service in cooperation with ACI Global using 30 #nissan LEAFs.
Nissan celebrates this all-important milestone some five years after the launch of the #nissan #leaf, the world's first mass-market, zero emission vehicle and just one year since the launch of its 100 percent electric e-NV200 light commercial vehicle. The #nissan #leaf remains the best-selling electric vehicle of all time, with almost 220,000 units sold worldwide. In FY15, 16,916 #nissan LEAFs were sold in Europe, securing a new annual record.
