The e-NV200’s maximum driving range of 170 km (NEDC* mode) is
greater than the average 100 km daily driving distance of around half of
the business users who operate this class of van. With payload and cargo
areas the same size as those in Nissan’s multipurpose NV200 van, it will
also appeal to private users with larger groups to transport.
As part of a “real-world” test drive program, companies including
FedEx Express, Coca-Cola Central Japan, DHL Japan, IKEA , British Gas,
Électricité de France and Japan Post, as well as local governments, used
pre-production models as part of their fleets. Nissan used feedback from
drivers and fleet managers to fine-tune the e-NV200 before beginning
series production.
Production of the e-NV200 began in May 2014 at Nissan’s Barcelona
Plant in Spain.
