With over a billion Kilometres traveled by Nissan LEAF owners, people are discovering that driving electric is more than a greener way to get around, it's a whole new way to look at the world. At the heart of our commitment to electric vehicles (EVs) is making them affordable and available to the mass market. That includes offering commercial EVs that are already changing the way people do business, and working with the private and government sectors to promote a robust infrastructure for public charging - doing everything we can to spread the joy of electric driving.

Of course an electric commercial vehicle can radically cut your costs - there's no petrol to buy and far less maintenance. There are some surprises, too. The e-NV200 is so quiet and clean, for example, you can make nighttime residential deliveries and gain access to protected and indoor areas. Best of all, the most environmentally friendly mass-produced van on the market sends a great message to your customers - you're smart, efficient, and looking forward to a bright future.

One way to make your drive more enjoyable is by giving you a greater feeling of confidence. And by 2020, you'll find Nissan vehicles that can share many of your daily driving responsibilities. You can already drive Nissans with technologies like adaptive cruise control, active lane control and parking assist. Now we're working with NASA and some of the world's top universities to take these ideas to the next level. Current prototypes can merge and pass, as well as monitor around a vehicle for risks. Think of it as built-in peace of mind.

"We source our ideas from the emotional value customers expect from an automobile and strive not just to fulfill them, but to go an extra mile."
- Shiro Nakamura, Senior Vice President and Chief Creative Officer, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.

NISSAN CONCEPT 2020 VISION GRAN TURISMO

From virtual to reality and back again. Answering a call from the makers of Gran Turismo 6, Nissan's young designers created a dream car to celebrate the game's 15th anniversary. The virtual supercar made its debut as a physical concept at the Goodwood Festival of Speed last summer. But the first lucky ones to actually "drive" it? GT6 gamers, of course. So will a production version actually drive up the Goodwood hill in 2020? That remains to be seen...
