Nissan showcases EV for VIPs Zero emission

eNV200  is transformed for ultimate comfort city transport introducing the eNV200 concept for VIPs.

Fresh from launching the gamechanging 100% electric Nissan eNV200 compact van, the world's leading electric vehicle manufacturer has created a new zero emission concept for VIP transportation the Nissan eNV200 VIP Concept.

Designers have upgraded the allelectric eNV200 Evalia people carrier into a zero emission van perfect as shuttle transport for VIPs. The benefit of being zero emission means that the van can access all current and future clean air zones, as well as drive inside buildings, for the ultimate in discreet convenience.

Behind the spectacular twotone exterior lies a sophisticated and luxurious interior. The seats are covered in premium quality white leather with blue accents, which contrast with the predominantly black lower portion of the cabin the trim and carpets are black with a piano black finish on the control surfaces. The top half of the cabin, including the headlining, window surrounds and pillar covers are also white to create a spacious feel.

The two ‘Club Class' rear seats come with integrated seat belts, armrests and extending leg rests.

By positioning the rear seats well behind the sliding door not only is access to the passenger compartment made as easy as possible, it also extends legroom up to 670 mm and could accommodate the tallest of passengers in incredible limousinelike comfort. Behind the seats there is ample room for luggage, making the eNV200 VIP Concept ideal for business travelers at airport transfers.

The rear passengers are entertained with the help of a 21.5inch DSP monitor, which can display movies or other images from a passenger's digital device, such as a smart phone, tablet, or computer.

The central console between the rear seats incorporates controls for the monitor and room lights as well as housing a drinks fridge. A large LED roof lamp spreads diffused light through the rear compartment, while each seat has an individual reading lamp.

The eNV200 VIP Concept is equipped with Nissan's Smart RearView mirror, as recently introduced at 2014 Geneva Motor Show. This innovation enables clear rearward visibility under all conditions. The Smart RearView mirror is housed within the structure of the conventional rear view mirror, with a builtin LCD monitor that can be activated in place of the conventional mirror. A highresolution camera, mounted on the rear of the vehicle, provides the driver with a clear nobstructed view of the rear, giving the ability to check blind spots and other traffic conditions.

The eNV200 VIP Concept is powered by the same 80kW AC synchronous electric motor and advanced 48module lithiumion battery as developed for Nissan LEAF and eNV200.

The drivetrain has proven to be superbly reliable, powering in excess of 135,000 Nissan LEAF vehicles globally, since launch. The driving range will be close to the homologated range of the standard production vehicle and can be easily and rapidly extended by using any of the over 1,200 CHAdeMOcompatible quick chargers across Europe, just like the standard eNV200.
