Nissan electrifies the city of Essen
- 15 #nissan electric vehicles provided to #essen - the European #green Capital 2017
- e-mobility pioneer #nissan, is the main automobile sponsor of the environmental capital
- First three #nissan LEAFs and two #nissan e-NV200s handed over on 13th January
Essen is getting an electric start to its year as the European #green Capital – with support from #nissan, the global electric mobility pioneer. As the new main sponsor, the Japanese #auto manufacturer is providing the city of #essen with a fleet of 15 electric vehicles. The two partners are therefore working together on what will be a central theme for the coming twelve months: the sustainable reshaping of mobility.
The first three #nissan LEAFs and two e-NV200s were handed over at the Rüttenscheider Stern in #essen on Friday, 13th January 2017. Thomas Hausch, head of #nissan Center Europe GmbH, presented a symbolic oversized car key to Essen’s Mayor Thomas Kufen and Simone Raskob, Head of the Environmental and Construction Department for the city of #essen and #green Capital Project Manager.
“Essen, the European #green Capital, and #nissan, the world’s leading e-mobility brand – we make an excellent team,” says a delighted Thomas Hausch. “We have already sold more than 275,000 electric vehicles worldwide, covered more than three billion kilometres in everyday use and set up over 4,000 quick-charge stations across Europe. 95 percent of our customers are very satisfied with our electric vehicles. Now, we want to use our many years of experience and expertise to make the European #green Capital ‘electrically mobile’ with guidance and assistance. We look forward to working together.”
“Electric mobility is a central topic for the future – climate-friendly and environmentally friendly, resource-saving and efficient.” Thomas Kufen emphasised.
Simone Raskob added: “In recent decades, our city has proven its ability to transform itself. Promoting electric mobility in the #green Capital year will be the initial spark for a further step towards a sustainable future.”
The #nissan electric fleet will be used by the project office and various city offices. Both theNissan LEAF and the #nissan e-NV200 are predestined for the city: they can transport people and materials with virtually no sound and with no emissions of CO2 or other pollutants.
Nissan launched the LEAF, the world’s first mass produced and now best-selling electric car, in 2010. The LEAF, which is produced in Essen’s partner city Sunderland, UK, is becoming more and more popular in Germany as well: 2016 sales were up 23 percent on the previous year. Since the market launch, more than 4,000 satisfied customers drive the #nissan e-car. The LEAF travels on the streets of #essen with a 30 kWh battery and a range of up to 250 kilometres. It can be charged up to 80 percent in just 30 minutes – for instance at the free quick-charge station of #nissan partner BK Motors, which is close to the city hall. #nissan operates Germany’s largest free network of charging stations: drivers can charge up their e-cars at more than 70 quick chargers and over 400 charging stations – free of charge. In October 2014, the Japanese #auto manufacturer launched the campaign ‘Free Electricity for Everyone’.
There has been a particularly handy alternative to the LEAF on the market since 2015. The fully electric e-NV200 combines the functional properties of the conventionally powered urban delivery vehicle NV200 with the tried-and-tested zero-emissions drive of the LEAF. #nissan recently introduced a five-year warranty* for the model that won the ‘German Commercial Vehicle Award 2016’.
Purchasing a #nissan e-car is particularly attractive at the moment: #nissan is increasing the EUR 4,000 electric bonus set up by the federal government, which is covered in equal parts by the federal government and the automobile industry, to EUR 5,000 for the LEAF and EUR 5,250 for the e-NV200. This means that the #nissan LEAF is available at prices starting from EUR 18,365 (plus battery rental)
