"As more and more businesses focus on reducing their carbon footprint, the need to find zero emission transport solutions is becoming more important than ever," said Gareth Dunsmore, director of Electric Vehicles at Nissan Europe. "Through Nissan Intelligent Mobility, we are working towards a sustainable future and our e-NV200 complements our vision perfectly whilst catering to a wide range of customer needs. Aside from its obvious environmental advantages, e-NV200 owners also benefit from its low-running costs (starting from as little as €0.03 per km), a smooth and near-silent ride and 40 percent lower servicing costs when compared with an equivalent diesel vehicle."
