Dubai, United Arab Emirates (14 November 2010) - Nissan Motor Co., Ltd 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 realised 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 presents new mobility concept for sustainable zero-emission society
Nissan New Mobility Concept is a user-friendly, ultra-compact 100% electric vehicle with no emissions which is expected to be utilised 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 revitalisation of communities with improved mobility in both urban and tourist locations.
Nissan presents new mobility concept for sustainable zero-emission society
Aiming to be a global leader in zero-emission mobility with Alliance partner Renault, Nissan will launch Nissan LEAF, the first 100% 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, organisations 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.
