The all-electric Nissan e-NV200 van was the top-selling electric van in Europe in 2016. UK sales of the van rose by 20% last year, while total European sales rose\u00a0by 7% to 4,319 units.<\/p>\n

The Nissan e-NV200 electric van is the top-selling electric van in 17 European countries.<\/p><\/div>\n

The top\u00a0markets for the e-NV200 were\u00a0the UK, Norway and France, but the van was the top-selling electric model in no fewer than 17 European countries.<\/p>\n

Although the e-NV200 faces competition from the Citroen Berlingo\/Peugeot Partner Electric in the small van segment, the e-NV200 is usefully larger and also comes in a choice of body styles. In addition to the panel van model, buyers can order the Combi<\/a> and Evalia<\/a> passenger variants which offer five\u00a0and seven-seat options respectively.<\/p>\n

This versatility\u00a0plus Nissan’s attractive 5-year\/60,000 mile warranty may be tipping the balance for a lot\u00a0of buyers. It probably would for me. However, Gareth Dunsmore, Director of Electric Vehicles at Nissan Europe, was keen to emphasise the\u00a0electric van’s other advantages:<\/p>\n

\u201cAside from its obvious environmental advantages, e-NV200 owners also benefit from its low-running costs, starting from as little as two pence per mile, a smooth and near-silent ride and 40 percent lower servicing costs when compared with an equivalent diesel vehicle.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ve been harping<\/a> on<\/a> about the attractions of these electric vans for some time now.<\/p>\n

With a range of up to 106 miles between charges, I firmly believe they’d be suitable for a wide range of UK LCV operators. It’s only fear of the unknown and inertia that’s causing these firms to continue\u00a0specifying\u00a0poorly-suited diesel vans for low-mileage urban\/semi-urban roles. This will eventually change, especially as diesels become increasingly demonised in our cities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
