Nissan announce electric NV200 mini van.

At the opening of the Tokyo Motor Show, Nissan Motor Co. President and CEO Carlos Ghosn revealed that Nissan will produce an electric version of the firm's newly introduced NV200 light commercial vehicle.

In what is now becoming an emerging trend in the EV market with Ford, Mitsubishi and now Nissan planning small EV vans, Ghosn said "This low-cost multi-purpose vehicle would allow ambulance drivers to drive directly into the hospital... or van and taxi drivers to enter urban areas where CO2 emissions are restricted, It's a flexible, practical vehicle with zero emissions."

While the Japanese automaker released a teaser sketch of the fully electric NV200, no other information was given out on the vehicle.
