Electric Nissan NV200 concept takes a bow

The Nissan e-NV200 Concept has made its world debut at the 2012 North American Auto Show in Detroit, bringing life to Nissan's vision for the future of zero-emission transportation.
Based on the popular Nissan NV200 multi-role vehicle, the Nissan e-NV200 Concept previews a production version of a full electric commercial vehicle designed to provide businesses with a flexible, roomy interior space, while achieving a dramatic CO2 footprint reduction. "With its 'no gas, no tailpipe, no emissions' powertrain, the e-NV200 Concept combines a quiet, comfortable driving experience with a large, highly versatile, functional interior space within a compact overall body length," states Hideto Murakami, corporate vice president, Nissan Motor. "A potential game changing vehicle in its segment, the battery capacity will support a driving range similar to that of the Nissan LEAF, while payload and cargo space will offer the same level as the current NV200," he adds. The production version will be targeted mainly at businesses, but also at private users or families in major regions. As a mass production vehicle, Nissan e-NV200 Concept will also provide a reduction in operating costs compared to current internal combustion engine vehicles, says Murakami. "A vehicle like the Nissan e-NV200 Concept would energise the current compact van market in more ways than one – helping improve the quality of urban life and providing a smart financial investment for large and small businesses alike," he insists.
