Nissan to launch new electric vehicle model from April

Singapore

JAPANESE car maker Nissan will be launching a new version of one of its electric vehicle models in its coming fiscal year in more than 60 markets including Singapore, a move that could help the Republic towards its goal of halving its carbon emissions.

On Tuesday, Nissan announced that the new, 100 per cent electric Nissan Leaf, featuring autonomous driving capabilities and a bigger battery capacity for longer-distance travels, will go on sale in seven countries - Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand.
