The Japanese automaker responsible for the zero-emissions Leaf hatch has announced that a similarly green version of their NV200 van will undergo field testing at the hands of FedEx Express, while delivering packages on London’s busy streets.
Over a two-month period, the prototype NV200 will be checked to see if it can cope with the demands of daily delivery duties. As well it should be, since it’s powered by the same battery and powerplant as the Nissan Leaf, of which they’ve sold over 20,000 across the world already.
“Zero-emission vehicles like Nissan LEAF are already playing an increasingly significant environmental role in our towns and cities. The Nissan NV200 EV prototype delivery vehicle will not only improve the quality of urban life, but thanks to best in class running costs has great potential to ease the economic burdens placed on companies,” said Nissan Corporate Vice President Hideto Murakami, responsible for the Global LCV Business Unit, “FedEx Express feedback from the evaluation process will help us tailor a future battery-powered light commercial Nissan vehicle that meets customer needs.”
