Nissan delivers first ten Leafs in Portugal

Tweet this post Nissan is delivering this Wednesday in Lisbon the first ten Leafs in Portugal. Nine electric vehicles will be delivered to the consortium behind the national mobility program, the Mobi.e, formed by companies like Siemens, EDP, Critical Software, Efacec and Martifer, among others. The Portuguese Government will also get a Nissan Leaf to be used by the Prime-Minister José Sócrates on official acts. Sócrates is attending the cerimony.

Renault-Nissan is not an official partner listed by Mobi.e, also run by Novabase, INTELI, Rener Living Lab, CEIIA and Remobi, but is working with the Portuguese consortium on the development of a nationwide mobility network. Some 1.300 plug-in charging stations are expected to go online in Portugal until June 2011. The country has been chosen both by Renault and Nissan for extensive experimentation with electric vehicles over the last years.

The Mobi.e mobility concept has already been exported to Malta and Portugal is in talks with other countries to develop mobility networks based on the Portuguese, open model of business, national EV project.
