Concept Twizy in 2009 and production Twizy today

Towards the end of 2009, zero-emission electric cars were little more than concept cars. At that year’s Frankfurt motor show Renault displayed four electric prototypes - the Fluence, Z.E sedan, the Kangoo Z.E van, the Twizy tandem two-seater and the ZOE subcompact… but that’s all they were: ideas. Electric cars were an utopian dream, something for the sci-fi magazines.

Nissan has pledged its support for the Kingdom of Bhutan's transition to an electric vehicle fleet. Nissan has entered into an agreement with the Royal Government of Bhutan with the shared goal of achieving the nation's eco-friendly vision for the future.

This month, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., and FedEx Express, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. and the world’s largest express transportation company, will start testing the Nissan e-NV200, a 100% electric light commercial vehicle, under real conditions in Brazil.

The trial, which will take place in the city of Rio de Janeiro, where Nissan do Brasil’s headquarter is located, is part of the vehicle’s global assessment and development program, which is being carried out jointly by the two companies.
