Jersey Post adds Nissan e-NV200 to its fleet

Jersey Post has received a delivery of 15 all-electric Nissan e-NV200s that will be used to deliver mail on routes across the island.

The purchase of the vehicles from local dealer Freelance Nissan follows an extensive 18 month trial and Jersey Post expects the new vans to reduce its carbon footprint by 35 tonnes a year.

Andy Jehan, director of operations at Jersey Post, said: “The Nissan e-NV200 was the right vehicle for us on every level. The vans are going to make a very significant contribution in our ambition to lower the environmental impact of our fleet and help preserve the beauty of our island – both in terms of carbon emissions and noise – and they’re also ideal for the short distance, stop/start driving that the job involves.

“The value is exceptional too, our decision to switch being ultimately based on the financial projections we have made on whole life costs. If our projections prove accurate, then there’s no reason why many more of our vehicles shouldn’t be electric.”
