There's an electric version of the van new Nissan work van, Nissan NV200, coming to Yark Nissan of Toledo, OH soon. The e-NV200 was named by 2012's Fleet World Honors' Environmental Vehicle by Van Fleet World Magazine.
The e-NV200 made its debut at the 2012 North American Auto Show. Nissan e-NV200 is expected to have an output range similar to Nissan LEAF, which is about 100 miles. The van contains 48 module battery packs and an 80 kilowatt electric motor, producing 207 lb-ft of torque.
John Kendall, Van Fleet World editor, said about e-NV200: "If there are two obvious vehicle types where electric power could make serious inroads, it would have to be in the delivery and commuter vehicle sectors. Nissan flicked the electric switch first with the LEAF and the e-NV200 prototype has adopted the same basic technology and applied it to a delivery vehicle."1
NV200 and electric NV200 were selected as New York's Taxi of Tomorrow, upgrading New York City's taxi fleet from their older Crown Victoria sedans.
Gas powered NV200 vans go into service throughout NYC in 2013. All electric e-NV200s should go into service by 2017.
