Europe's biggest selling All Electric commercial Vehicle is the Nissan e-NV200.

• The all-electric Nissan e-NV200 is the best-selling electric van in 2016, across 17 countries in Europe
• Total Nissan e-NV200 sales increased by 7 percent in 2016
• UK, Norway and France are the top three markets for e-NV200 sales
• Nissan offers a five year / 60,000 mile warranty on all new Nissan e-NV200s

The Nissan e-NV200 topped the charts to become Europe’s best-selling electric van in 2016.* The award-winning all-electric van ranked number one in 17 countries across Europe, ahead of its competitors in the category.

The UK is the top market in Europe for Nissan e-NV200, followed closely by Norway and France. Sales were up 20% on the previous year and alongside the LEAF, Nissan’s electric vehicle models command almost 50% of the entire EV market in the UK. 

In the UK, sales of e-NV200 have more than doubled since launching in 2014 with the model claiming just over 82% market share in 2016.

With overall Nissan e-NV200 sales up 7 percent in 2016 compared to the previous year with 4,319 units registered throughout Europe, it is clear the popularity of this 100 percent electric van is on the rise.

Gareth Dunsmore, Director of Electric Vehicles at Nissan Europe, said: “As more and more businesses focus on reducing their carbon footprint, the need to find zero emission transport solutions is becoming more important than ever. Through Nissan Intelligent Mobility, we are working towards a sustainable future and our e-NV200 complements our vision perfectly whilst catering to a wide range of customer needs.

“Aside 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.”

Nissan e-NV200 customers can also benefit from Nissan’s recently introduced five year / 60,000 mile warranty** on new e-NV200s. The five year warranty covers mechanical and electrical vehicle components, battery capacity, corrosion (up to 12 years) and roadside assistance.

The Nissan e-NV200 is the perfect transport solution for families and businesses alike, combining the best of Nissan’s NV200 van with zero-emission technology from the world’s best–selling electric car, the Nissan LEAF. Available in both commercial van and fully trimmed Combi and Evalia passenger variants, the e-NV200 line-up offers a variety of options to suit every requirement; including a panel van, five-seat and seven-seat option and a driving range of up to 106 miles on a single charge.***

CV SHOW 2015 - Citroen premiers the new Berlingo at Birmingham CV show.

Citroën’s New Berlingo made its UK debut at the CV Show earlier today (NEC, Hall 5, Stand D40, 14-16 April 2015). New Berlingo is on display alongside models from the just-expanded Relay Ready to Runrange and a selection of the latest Nemo, Dispatch and New Relay vans.

The New Berlingo is now available to order, with UK deliveries starting on 1 July 2015. Competitively priced from just £12,515 plus VAT and delivery, the New Berlingo range offers running cost reductions and environmental benefits, combined with driver comfort, safety and convenience gains.

New Berlingo offers a choice of Euro 6 VTi 95 petrol or Euro 5 HDi 75 and HDi 90 diesel engines, complemented by the latest generation Euro 6 BlueHDi 100 and BlueHDi 120 diesel powerplants. Depending on the model selected, New Berlingo is available with Stop & Start technology, manual 5 or 6-speed gearboxes and Citroën’s ETG6 automated manual transmission. 

The New Berlingo continues to offer the widest range of factory built variants in its class, including two panel van lengths, three trim levels, an electric van, an XTR+ enhanced traction van, a Crew Van and a platform cab for special bodywork.

The New Berlingo is the first Citroën LCV to be offered with Euro 6 compliant BlueHDi diesel engines, which use advanced Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology. Citroën will be extending the application of these low-emission, fuel-efficient BlueHDi engines across its entire LCV line-up as part of a rolling programme starting in July 2015 and running through to September 2016. 

New Berlingo’s CO₂ emissions are now reduced to an exceptional 109g/km for the BlueHDi 100 S&S ETG6 L1 625 LX model. The range has combined cycle fuel economy figures of up to 68.9mpg.

In addition to the introduction of the new BlueHDi engines, New Berlingo models also have specification upgrades to benefit both the operator and the driver. Externally, New Berlingo vans have a redesigned grille and front bumper, and are available with an optional Look Pack, featuring LED daytime-running lights. 

Internally, both New Berlingo LX and Enterprise trim levels now have cruise control and a programmable speed limiter as standard. The top-of-the-range New Berlingo Enterprise specification has been enhanced with the inclusion of a 7-inch touchscreen with Mirror Screen technology and an upgraded DAB audio system. In addition, the New Berlingo Enterprise trim level now includes an alarm for increased security and peace-of-mind. New Berlingo offers an extended choice of options, including front parking sensors, a reversing camera and a colour touchscreen with audio streaming.

All New Berlingo panel vans are fitted, as standard, with Teletrac Smartnav satellite navigation and Trackstar stolen vehicle tracking. This advanced telematics platform, which provides operators with cost-saving efficiency, safety, security and productivity benefits, can be optionally upgraded – at low cost – to include Fleet Director real-time fleet management capability.

Alongside New Berlingo, Citroën is displaying models from its newly extended Relay Ready to Run range. Relay Ready to Run is one of Citroën’s major LCV success stories, with sales increasing 10 fold in just two years. The original four-strong Relay Ready to Run range has just gained two new models – the Relay 35 L3 HDi 130 6-speed manual Enterprise Crew Cab Dropside and the Relay 35 Heavy L4 HDi 130 6-speed manual Enterprise Dropside.

The newly expanded Relay Ready to Run range consists of:

• Relay 35 L2 HDi 130 6-speed manual Enterprise Tipper, £26,030 + VAT + delivery
• Relay 35 L2 HDi 130 6-speed manual Enterprise Dropside, £24,735 + VAT + delivery

All of these models are based on new, high specification Relay Enterprise chassis cabs, which have been developed specifically for Ready to Run applications. The Relay Enterprise chassis cabs, which are only available for the Relay Ready to Run programme, will be available from late April onwards.

The new Relay Enterprise chassis cabs’ enhanced specification adds:

• Perimetric alarm
• 5-inch colour touch screen/DAB digital radio

Jeremy Smith, Citroën’s Head of Commercial Vehicles & Business Sector Operations, commented; “This year’s CV Show provides Citroën with the ideal platform to demonstrate to existing and prospective customers the financial and operational benefits of the company’s innovative thinking. The Nemo, New Berlingo, Dispatch and New Relay ranges – including Relay Ready to Run – demonstrate Citroen’s ability to deliver even greater business transport efficiencies.”

New Citroen berlingo LCV available with EU6 Compliant power plants and upgrades.

Citroën’s best-selling LCV, the Berlingo, will make its debut with advanced BlueHDi Euro 6 compliant engines – plus specification and styling enhancements – at the CV Show (NEC, Hall 5, Stand D40, 14 -16 April 2015). 

The New Berlingo range will be ‘on sale’ in the UK from 1 July 2015, bringing with it further running cost reductions and environmental benefits, combined with driver comfort, safety and convenience gains. 

The New Berlingo is the first Citroën LCV range to be powered by Euro 6 compliant BlueHDi diesel engines, which use advanced Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology. Citroën will be extending the application of these low-emissions, highly fuel-efficient BlueHDi engines across its entire LCV line-up as part of a rolling programme starting in July 2015 and running through to September 2016. 

Citroën is meeting tough Euro 6 requirements for NO_x emission reductions with the application of its SCR technology. BlueHDi powered New Berlingo models have an efficient, three-stage SCR process to treat emissions caused by combustion:

- Stage 1: an oxidisation catalyst converts the unburned hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) in the exhaust into water and carbon dioxide (CO₂)

- Stage 2: the SCR module then adds AdBlue to convert nitrogen oxide (NO_x) into nitrogen (N) and water

- Stage 3: a particulate filter then eliminates 99.9% of particles in the vehicle’s exhaust emissions 

BlueHDi powered New Berlingo vans have a 17-litre AdBlue tank, which will last for up to 14,000 miles, depending on the type of vehicle operation. AdBlue is widely available from various outlets, including Citroën dealers.

The New Berlingo range will go on sale in July with a choice of Euro 5 HDi 75 and HDi 90 engines, complemented by the more powerful Euro 6 BlueHDi 100 and BlueHDi 120 Euro 6 engines. 

The HDi 75 and HDi 90 engines will be available with 5-speed manual transmissions, while the BlueHDi engines will, dependent on model, be available with Stop & Start, manual 5 or 6-speed gearboxes and Citroën’s ETG6 automated manual transmission.

The current specification Euro 5 HDi 75 and HDi 90 engines, already among the most efficient available in this sector, will be available in the New Berlingo range until May 2016. Then the HDi 75 will be replaced by a new, Euro 6 compliant BlueHDi 75 engine. 

More details of the New Berlingo range will be released at the CV Show, together with homologated emissions and combined cycle fuel economy figures. 

New Berlingo panel vans will continue to provide operators with the cost-saving efficiency, safety, security and productivity benefits of Teletrac Smartnav satellite navigation and Trackstar stolen vehicle tracking. This advanced telematics platform also provides the option to upgrade the system - at low cost - to include Fleet Director, with its real-time fleet management capability.

In addition to the introduction of BlueHDi engines, New Berlingo models will gain specification upgrades to benefit both the operator and the driver. Externally, New Berlingo vans have a redesigned grille and front bumper and are available with an optional Look Pack, featuring LED daytime-running lights. 

Internally, both New Berlingo LX and Enterprise trim levels gain cruise control and a programmable speed limiter.  Top-of-the-range New Berlingo Enterprise models also gain an upgraded DAB audio system, incorporating a 7-inch touchscreen with Mirror Screen technology. In addition, the New Berlingo Enterprise trim level now includes an alarm for increased security and peace of mind.

Nissan e-NV200 is the second model in Nissan’s expanding range of electric vehicles

• Nissan e-NV200 is the second model in Nissan’s expanding range of electric vehicles
• Barcelona plant starts production of Nissan’s first electric van as part of €431 million investment
• New electric van provides a zero-emission solution for urban cargo delivery and taxi companies
• Barcelona is the only Nissan plant to produce the e-NV200, which will be exported globally
• e-NV200 shares drivetrain technology with the world’s best selling electric vehicle - the Nissan LEAF

Nissan has started the production of its second all-electric vehicle - the e-NV200 - which will be available as both a passenger vehicle and light commercial van. The ceremony was attended by Spanish Ministry of Industry, José Manuel Soria, Catalan President, Artur Mas; and the Mayor of Barcelona, Xavier Trias, who were welcomed by Nissan’s Chief Planning Officer, Andy Palmer.

The Nissan plant in Barcelona will be the global production site for this ground breaking zero-emission vehicle, which will be available as a light commercial van, passenger vehicle and electric taxi.

Representing an investment of €100 million in Nissan’s Barcelona Plant, as part of a wider €431 million investment in its Spanish operations, the e-NV200 will initially be exported to around 20 international markets, including Japan. Just as with the Nissan LEAF introduction, the number of markets will grow after the initial launch, to continue the company’s sustained electric vehicle expansion.

Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. Chief Planning Officer Andy Palmer joined the VIP list at the event, adding: “This is a great landmark day for Nissan, starting production of our second electric vehicle.  This is at a time when EV’s are now recognized as mainstream technology, many competitors are only just starting to launch their first EV and where Nissan has clear first mover advantage. We’re proud that the Nissan LEAF is the world’s best selling electric vehicle with more than 110,000 delighted customers enjoying the quiet and smooth ride of an EV.”  

Barcelona will be the first city in the world to introduce the e-NV200 as a 100% electric taxi, an initiative Palmer believes is vital for the city, continuing: “This e-NV200 taxi has renewed significance in the wake of record levels of air pollution in London and Paris. Bringing a significant number of zero emission vehicles to Barcelona’s streets will ensure cleaner air for every citizen, visitor and tourist, and we’re confident that forward-thinking councils everywhere will be clamoring to bring these benefits to their municipalities in the coming years.” 

For the Mayor of Barcelona, the start of production of new all-electric van and the partnership between Nissan and Barcelona “is part of a strategy in Barcelona and its metropolitan area in order to consolidate Barcelona as the centre of a new urban economy model, based on innovation, technology and sustainability. In our city, we are strategically targeting sectors that are essential for the future, and electric vehicles are one of them. Furthermore, we are working to generate wealth in our city, strengthening our economy and the industrial sector; thus making a very important step ahead that will improve the quality of life for residents”.

Frank Torres, managing director and vice president of Nissan Spain Industrial Operations said: “Barcelona has the honour of producing Nissan’s second 100% electric vehicle, and this is a result of many years of hard work and quality improvements from the team here. This will be only the second time we have produced a model in Spain for export back to Nissan’s home market in Japan and that is a fantastic achievement by my colleagues at the plant.”

Barcelona is the only Nissan plant in the world producing the electric version of e-NV200, which means that it will be exported to all over the world, Japan included. The first vehicles exported to these markets will set sail in June.
