A strategic Franco-Japanese partnership between Paris-based Renault, and Yokohama, Japan-based Nissan, the alliance recently sold its 100,00th electric vehicle.
The milestone is seen as an important benchmark of the duo's efforts and determination towards achieving a zero-emission target for their cars and by their ability to recognize and react to contemporary environmental needs.
The main goal of the Alliance is to promote the use of Electric Vehicles (EVs). In addition to the Nissan LEAF, the alliance also has an all-electric commercial van e-NV200 in the works, as well as the Venucia, which it targeted toward the Chinese market and is being spearheaded by the Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle Company Alliance in China.
Such developments in the field of sustainable mobility, the report says, point to a continued collaboration between like-minded companies towards achieving a zero-emission society.
This collaboration is also extended to partnering up with local and national governments, concretized through the use of the Nissan LEAF as a taxi vehicle in major cities such as New York, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Sao Paulo and Guangzhou China.
Moreover, there are planned implementations of quick charging stations in Japan for EVs which, the report says, will further encourage the use of environmental friendly vehicles.
