[Auto] Nissan celebrates that the Leaf production reaches 500 thousand units

[#Steeven.™]

The Nissan Leaf was one of the first high-volume electric cars to hit the market. The first generation was introduced to the world ten years ago now and, except for the Peugeot iOn, Citroën C-Zero and Mitsubishi i-MiEV, there wasn't much else to choose from. After him, the Tesla models or the Renault Zoe or BMW i3 arrived en masse. However, none have had the impact that the Japanese product did.

Now, those responsible for the brand announce a piece of information that their investors will like. Yes, because the development of the first Nissan Leaf was a great challenge in terms of resources and engineering capacity. The second installment was not far from the precepts that the public liked, although it substantially improved its technical virtues. All this has meant that its sales volume, globally, has reached the magical figure of 500 thousand units.

The 500 thousand unit of the Nissan Leaf has gone to Norway

Yes, the cumulative production of the Nissan Leaf has reached half a million units. The factory that for all these years has been entrusted to this task is the one that the Japanese firm has in Sunderland (United Kingdom). Of this amount, we know that about 200 thousand correspond to the second generation, so we can say that the success of this has been higher than that of its predecessor.

To celebrate this milestone, Nissan has sent an official press release stating what the future of this special unit is. Contrary to what we might think, it has not ended up in his museum, but has ended up in the garage of some Norwegian clients. Maria Jansen is the brand new owner of the unit in question, who has made a statement about the reason for her purchase and has posed with him at the dealership.

 

According to her words ...
“My husband and I decided to buy a Nissan Leaf in 2018 and we loved it” […] “We are very excited to become the proud owners of the 500,000th Nissan Leaf. This car really meets our needs with extended range and improved technologies. "

 

But in addition, this situation becomes even more special on the day that such figure was reached. To be more exact, in the celebration of World VE Day. All in all, we can only congratulate Nissan for its courage and bravery and customers for making it a world leader.
