RP news wires

Nissan Motor Company Ltd. on October 29 announced a proposal for new mobility in a sustainable zero emission society and an electric vehicle (EV) embodying its proposal, "NISSAN New Mobility CONCEPT".

Nissan continues to envision new possibilities realized by EVs. One proposal is a sustainable, efficient and convenient mode of transportation focusing on the increase of elderly and single households, as well as the trend of driving short-distances or in smaller groups. NISSAN New Mobility CONCEPT is our proposal to make this a reality.

Four keywords outline the NISSAN New Mobility CONCEPT:

  • Innovative - New two-seater compact mobility for various needs and occasions
  • Easy - Size which enables anyone to drive and park easily
  • Safe - Maneuverability equivalent to motorbikes with greater safety
  • Clean - No emissions while driving

NISSAN New Mobility CONCEPT

NISSAN New Mobility Concept is an user-friendly, ultra-compact 100% electric vehicle with no emissions which is expected to be utilized in various situations in everyday life. Nissan will study the use of this vehicle for a variety of services, such as:

  • 'seamless mobility service', a highly efficient and convenient public transportation service linking public transportation and EVs supported by IT,
  • '2-mode EV car sharing', where the vehicle is used as a private commuter vehicle in the mornings and evenings, and as a corporate car during business hours, and,
  • contributing to the revitalization of communities with improved mobility in both urban and tourist locations.

Aiming to be a global leader in zero-emission mobility with Alliance partner Renault, Nissan will launch Nissan LEAF, the first 100 percent electric, mass-marketed, zero-emission car in December 2010 in Japan and the United States, and in early 2011 in Europe. In addition to the development and production of EVs, Nissan is taking a comprehensive approach to promote sustainable mobility. This includes Nissan's engagement with more than 80 zero-emission partnerships worldwide with countries, cities, organizations and other key stakeholders, the deployment of charging infrastructure, second-life use of lithium-ion batteries in EVs and the promotion of recycling parts used in vehicle production.
