Nissan e-NV200 Electric Van Concept Unveiled Detroit

Right now, all we know is that power comes from a 80kW AC synchronous motor generating 280 Nm of torque and a lithium-ion battery pack. Much like the LEAF, power is sent to the front wheels via a singe speed gearbox.

"With its ‘no gas, no tailpipe, no emissions' powertrain, the Nissan e-NV200 Concept combines a quiet, comfortable driving experience with a large, highly versatile, functional interior space within a compact overall body length," said Hideto Murakami, corporate vice president, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.  "A potential game changing vehicle in its segment, the battery capacity will support a driving range similar to the Nissan LEAF, while payload and cargo space will offer the same level as the current NV200.  The production version would be targeted mainly at businesses, but also at private users or families in major regions."

"A vehicle like the Nissan e-NV200 Concept would energise the current compact van market in more ways than one - helping improve the quality of urban life and providing a smart financial investment for large and small businesses alike," Murakami added.

"The Nissan e-NV200 Concept is a standout design, sharing the iconic EV look established by the Nissan LEAF but in a modern, active, functional commercial vehicle form," said Murakami.  "Inside, it offers a smart, convenient cockpit along with an EV feel and an easy-operational interface."
