Nissan in a virtual session for Nepal, Bhutan and Sri Lanka markets has unveiled a green vehicle emphasising making electric mobility more accessible in South Asian markets to create a more sustainable green future.
During the session Nissan representatives explained their commitment to introduce economically and environmentally sustainable mobility solutions to South Asian markets as demonstrated by Nissan’s new zero-emission LEAF EV which is just being launched in South Asia, the company said in a media release.
Globally, Nissan LEAF vehicles have driven more than 2.5 billion cumulative kilometres since their launch in 2010, resulting in a total amount of 1.2 million tons of CO2 reduction.
During the session, Nissan’s engineering experts illustrated the new vehicle’s suitability for conditions in South Asian markets while being both economical and environment friendly. The zero-emission Nissan LEAF EV is the embodiment of Nissan Intelligent Mobility, the automotive company's approach to changing the way cars are driven, powered and integrated into society. It can go from zero to 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds, while reaching a top speed of 140 km/h. It also has one of the quietest cabins and comes with a very low running cost compared to ICE engine (by almost five times), the release said.
Sinan Ozkok, President, Nissan India Operations, said: “We are pleased by recent developments in Sri Lanka that are moving the country closer to carbon neutrality. In keeping with the government's forward-thinking policies to support electric transportation, Nissan expects to debut the zero-emission Nissan LEAF EV in Sri Lanka through our partner AMW in the near future. At Nissan, our vision for the future of mobility is fuelled by our mission to enrich people’s lives by providing communities with access to vehicles with low environmental impact. The introduction of the zero-emission Nissan LEAF in South Asian markets reflects our commitment to support the efforts of these governments, as they work toward achieving their clean energy goals.”
Peter Mackenzie, Managing Director of AMW - Sri Lanka, said: “AMW has been the proud representative for Nissan in Sri Lanka for decades. The launch of the new Nissan zero-emission LEAF EV marks another point of pride for us in this journey as we lead the way towards a carbon neutral nation. As the Sri Lankan government strides towards sustainability with renewable energy projects and promotion of electric transportation, at AMW, it’s our sincere hope that the new Nissan LEAF EV will be pivotal in the progress’’
