Zero-Emissions Motoring One Step Closer To Reality In Europe
UK, Portugal and Ireland First In Line For World’s First Affordable Mass-Produced Fully Electric Vehicle, The Nissan LEAF

Amid strong global demand for the world’s first affordable mass-produced, zero-emission vehicle, Nissan will open order books in Europe for Nissan LEAF in Portugal and the Republic of Ireland on 30th July and in the UK from 1st September.

The ordering process is a first step in securing a place on the list to receive the Nissan LEAF, and means Portuguese, Irish and UK customers will be first in line to receive the car in Europe. Nissan LEAF deliveries begin in Portugal in January, Ireland in February and UK in March 2011. Since March this year, more than 12,000 customers in Europe have signed up for regular updates on Nissan LEAF’s introduction, and in the US and Japan pre-orders have exceeded 23,000 units since online reservations began in April.

Such high demand has meant the car will launch slightly later than planned in the Netherlands. Sales are now expected to start in June 2011, with pre-orders opening to customers in October this year.
