An all-electric car club has been established in the UK, allowing members to hire a Nissan LEAF by the month, by the day… or even by the hour.

With Nissan announcing the launch of a new zero-emission taxi initiative in Zurich, we talked to two of the Young Global Leaders behind the project. How did the new service come about and why did they choose the Nissan LEAF? Watch the video now.

With a full range of pure electric vehicles, Renault and Nissan are the global leaders in sustainable mobility.

The Renault-Nissan Alliance has spent many years perfecting a range of silent-running electric vehicles that produce no tailpipe emissions whatsoever:
-   Family cars
-   Chic urban transport
-   Compact hatchbacks
-   Practical vans

It has already been called the future of motor racing. The Nissan LEAF Nismo RC – all-electric, zero emission, all the performance.

Owners of the Nissan LEAF, invited to Japan to celebrate the second anniversary of the day the innovative car went on sale, experienced laps in the racing car at the GranDrive test track.

Nissan celebrated the electric vehicle’s second birthday in Japan with a gathering of more than 200 LEAF owners at GranDrive last weekend.

LEAF owner Masahiko Yoshida joined participants at the gathering, which also included EV enthusiasts from the U.S. and Europe.

“It’s going to be the first time I see so many LEAFs driving around the city at the same time,” said Yoshida en route to the event. “It’ll feel a little like a homecoming event, and I’m excited about that.”

On the eve of the Nissan LEAF’s second birthday, some owners from overseas visited Japan to see the factories where the batteries and electric vehicles were produced.

Since December 2010, Nissan has delivered more than 18,000 LEAFs to U.S. customers and more than 46,000 worldwide, making it the most successful 100% electric vehicle in history.

The largest gathering of electric vehicle owners in Japanese history was a perfect chance to touch base with one of the men leading the push,  Nissan’s s Corporate Vice President of Zero Emissions Hideaki Watanabe.

The Nissan Global Media Center began asking him the aim in bringing the LEAF owners to Oppama.

Autumn leaves blew into the famous Silverstone Grand Prix circuit at the end of November. Or rather, that should be autumn LEAFs.

UK owners of the world’s most popular pure electric vehicle got together at the home of the British Grand Prix to set an official Guinness world record for the largest parade of electric vehicles.

It’s a hard fact of life that while electric vehicles benefit the environment by producing zero tailpipe emissions, they can have an impact in other areas. Perhaps the most significant is the use of rare earth elements for the batteries and electric motors.

As one aspect of the Nissan Green Program 2016 – the company’s continuing commitment to the environment – is an undertaking to reduce the use of rare earth elements (REE) to minimise the depletion of natural resources.
