The first year of Nissan’s four-year partnership with the UEFA Champions League ended by leaving a lasting legacy of Nissan’s commitment to a carbon free future.
Over one hundred electric cars were deployed around Berlin, the site of the Champions League Final, and 129 charging points installed to support these vehicles.
Having sold over 184,000 electric vehicles to date, more than any other car manufacturer, the UEFA Champions League Final was a demonstration of the significant impact EVs can have on our major cities and Nissan’s commitment to developing technologies that is defining tomorrow’s motoring.
As makers of the world’s best-selling 100 percent electric car, the Nissan LEAF, EVs helped transport 1,466 guests across 23,130 km powered by 3,932 kWh of charge.
Nissan’s EV sales in Europe in the first half of 2015 are at 11,360 which confirms Nissan’s position as the market leader in the pure electric car sector, in the UK alone sales of Nissan’s all-electric LEAF have topped over 10,000 units since launch (10,160).
Bastien Schupp, Vice President, Marketing - Nissan Europe said: “Nissan is about Innovation that Excites, and we constantly strive to push the boundaries in everything we do.
We know the way we live our lives is changing at a rapid pace with cities becoming overcrowded, putting increased pressure on urban infrastructure and energy supplies.
This is why Nissan worked closely with UEFA during the Final to help lessen the impact on the city around this world-class global sporting spectacle.” — SG
