New Nissan e-NV200: now longer range, goes 62 miles further

IF you’re in the trades or run a small business van fleet, then this is your chance to save some money on operating costs, and go green.

Nissan has just launched a new version of its all-electric e-NV200 van – also available with windows – that not only goes 62 miles further on a charge of electricity.

For trades and van operators in central London, it’s an ideal opportunity to switch away from diesel and not get caught in any T-tax issues that start this month.

The new e-NV200 is fitted with a 40kWh battery and  offers a 60% extended range of up to 174miles.

And, with no increase in size of the battery itself, operatores will face no compromise in either load space or payload.

The new longer range e-NV200, unveiled today at Nissan Futures 3.0 in Oslo, Norway – Europe’s Green Capital for 2019 – can help cut the level of CO2 emissions in city centres caused by professional drivers making deliveries and/or collections.

Gareth Dunsmore, electric vehicle director, Nissan Europe, said: “With its longer range and excellent cargo capacity, the new e-NV200 is the perfect last mile delivery solution for urban deliveries and collections.

“Given the huge impact that business deliveries/collections and professional drivers have on air quality and traffic congestion, especially in city centres, helping cut the level of CO2 emissions they create is a vital part of creating a more sustainable future.”

He added: “The world is going electric, which means re-thinking pretty much everything we know about driving, commuting and powering our lives. But to make that future viable, we must create a fully electric ecosystem that enables modern life to be cleaner, safer and more connected for everyone.

“Smarter, better 100% electric vehicles like the new e-NV200 are at the heart of that ecosystem – now and for generations to come.”

The new e-NV200 equipped with upgraded 40kWh battery will be available to order before the end of 2017.

No loss of carrying capacity with bigger batteries
