Nissan Leaf ready for sales in Russia

Most recently, the Council of the Eurasian economic Commission finally decided to zero the customs duty on imported into the customs Union electric. The Russian government is also engaged in the development of measures to stimulate electric transport in our country. In this regard, as never became an actual interview given to the newspaper "Kommersant" managing Director of Nissan in Russia Andrey Akifiev, which by some coincidence, went unnoticed among most of the media and the few enthusiasts that are engaged in the importation and sale of electric cars in our country.





I would not want to see this interview got lost in the mass of information that comes from various publications. Said there information possible will benefit in increased sales most popular in the world and relatively affordable electric car. In particular, Akifyev said the following:

"We have two products, products which allow us, so to speak, to address all those requirements that have buyers. First of all, this is a classic passenger electric Nissan Leaf. This is quite an interesting machine which is no different from conventional cars, in terms of size and functionality, except that it runs on electric and it is certainly of interest to different categories of buyers: how ordinary citizens and commercial organizations. And the second is a 100% commercial transport van NV 200, designed for commercial use in small companies for the carriage of goods within the city. This is from the point of view of the product. If we are talking from the point of view of the possibility of selling the Nissan Leaf is ready for sale — we have all the necessary homologation documents which allow you to sell this car in Russia. But we are at a stage when the test demand to understand how much we can sell, to whom we can sell these cars. From the point of view of commercial transport, little bit harder because we believe that commercial companies are more active in this direction, but so far he's a little difficult, since this is a business model and it requires a bit more preparation for the analysis and understanding of the situation as a whole."



Thus, after the decision on the abolition of customs duties, Nissan may well officially to bring in new electric cars Leaf taking advantage of the Customs Union benefits.
