Nissan e-NV200 sales in Europe up 128 per cent

Nissan has reported that 7,000 new 40 kWh e-NV200 vans have been ordered across Europe since launch in January 2018, representing a 128 per cent increase compared to same period in 2017.

Among the recent orders, three taxi companies in The Netherlands have ordered a total of 50 new Nissan e-NV200 Evalia, the seven-seat passenger variant, to operate in the Rotterdam area.

The e-NV200 offers a fully electric powertrain, smart onboard technologies and multiple cabin configurations which can be tailored to meet both private and business needs.

Under the new Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) homologation procedure, the upgraded Nissan e-NV200’s advanced 40kWh battery delivers 200 km of range on the Combined Cycle and up to 187 miles on the Urban City Cycle. This represents a 60 per cent range improvement from a single charge over the previous generation.

The upgraded battery’s means the model has retained its excellent cargo capacity and payload, allowing customers to transport up to two Euro pallets or a load weighing up to 705 kg for the cargo van.
