Nissan Leaf prioritised for fleet partners

Date: 09 August 2010

Nissan Leaf

Nissan will prioritise supply of its electric Leaf to fleet partners alongside previously announced deals for regions, such as Milton Keynes, where infrastructure projects are in place. James Douglas, Nissan fleet sales director, said the brand is working with "several partners and supply priority is one facet of such relationships".

Nissan will not provide charging point at business' premises but Douglas said it will "work with customers to ensure they have the best possible solution to their needs and this may include help and advice on charging". The carmaker also plans to offer training on both sales and aftersales to partner lease firms.

Sales of the Leaf will be a 50:50 split between retail and fleet with 2000 units expected to sell in the first 12 months.

"We will sell it to fleets in a similar way to consumers - the Leaf has to be right for the user," said Douglas. "Leaf delivers a zero emissions, five-door, five-seat hatchback; however, it will not be the right solution for every customer and we will work to ensure the product meets the customer's requirements in the same way as our fleet sales team would for any of our products," added Douglas.
