Nissan, the global automotive sponsor of the UEFA Champions League, provided a fleet of electric vehicles to transport delegates, partners and officials around Monaco as part of the 2014/15 UEFA Champions League group stage draw at the Grimaldi Forum.
The company, a leading manufacturer of zero-emission electric vehicles, supplied the all-electric Nissan LEAF hatchback and newly-launched e-NV200 light commercial van as part of the official UEFA shuttle service fleet in Monaco, alongside the Nissan Qashqai and X-Trail crossovers and the high-performance Nissan GT-R.
This represents the first time electric vehicles have been used as part of the UEFA official shuttle service, making for a seamless fit with Monaco’s progressive outlook on sustainable mobility.
Monaco has one the most comprehensive electric vehicle infrastructures in the world, with more EV charging points per square metre than any other country or principality on the planet.
“Nissan considers zero-emission vehicles to be the ultimate solution for realising sustainable mobility in the future and is strongly committed to EV technologies,” said Jean-Pierre Diernaz, director of Electric Vehicles – Nissan Europe. “As the global leader in EV technologies, Nissan is delighted to work with UEFA to provide a zero-emission solution to the shuttle service and will continue to explore opportunities with the organisation to further enhance EV use across all UEFA Champions League activity.”
Nissan is the leading manufacturer of electric vehicles globally with the Nissan LEAF the best-selling electric vehicle of all time.
