(May 11, 2020) PARIS, France — Nissan has introduced an all-new, enlarged and all-electric delivery van in Europe — the e-NV200 XL Voltia van. The e-NV200 XL Voltia is a highly versatile conversion of the electric Nissan e-NV200 van. The new model is already the zero-emissions vehicle of choice for major last-mile delivery suppliers across Europe.

Nissan says the e-NV200 is cementing its reputation as the ideal vehicle for urban deliveries where operators and residents appreciate its near-silent and zero emission operation. The e-NV200 XL Voltia conversion will be made available in European markets by Gruau. In the UK the conversion will be carried out by Bevan Group. UK pricing to be revealed upon launch.

“Despite tougher emissions standards and restricted access in cities, demand for urban last-mile delivery isn’t slowing down. Businesses — large and small — need to remain competitive and find a solution to optimize their operations,” said Manuel Burdiel, general manager Europe, LCV Sales and Business Development.

Broadening the diversity of the e-NV200 model family, the e-NV200 XL Voltia concession offers a compact body and sizable cargo capacity. With a load space of 8m, the new model expands the standard e-NV200’s competitive load space by 90%. This allows businesses to complete fewer trips on each delivery round, allowing them to streamline operations and save time.

The newest member of the e-NV200 family is designed with versatility and practicality in mind. Combining an elongated load bay with an expansive roof space, the 8 meter-van (282 cubic feet) allows drivers to load cargo easily, with standing room ensuring they remain comfortable on the job. The van is highly maneuverable on the road, too, with an optimized turning circle making it an ideal solution for urban roads.

The e-NV200 XL Voltia also benefits from technology inspired by the Nissan LEAF’s tried-and-tested powertrain. The model is equipped with Nissan’s highly capable 40kWh battery and an on-board CHAdeMO charger for rapid DC charging capability.

Alongside the efficient powertrain, intelligent energy management technology enhances the e-NV200 XL Voltia’s sustainability credentials even further. B mode optimizes regenerative braking to recharge the battery on the move, whilst ECO mode manages power output to conserve battery capacity. When used together, both technologies maximize range to help drivers go longer on each delivery.

“Every aspect of the Nissan e-NV200 XL Voltia is designed to tackle these ongoing challenges. The efficient zero-emission powertrain, compact body and versatile cargo space allow businesses to make last-mile delivery less time-intensive and more sustainable,” said Manuel Burdiel, General Manager Europe, LCV Sales and Business Development.

The Nissan e-NV200 has enjoyed widespread popularity since its launch in 2014, with 42,000 units produced — almost 10,000 sold across Europe in 2019 alone — supporting Nissan in its commitment to reduce urban emissions from commercial operations.
