2011 Nissan Leaf EV
Nissan Canada and the Toronto Atmospheric Fund (TAF) announced a Letter of Agreement to ensure the Nissan LEAF will be an important part of TAF’s FleetWise EV300 program. Nissan has committed the availability of 500 Nissan LEAFs for sale to TAF partners with initial deliveries beginning in the second half of 2011.
TAF’s FleetWise EV300 is supporting a transition to electric vehicles with tools that allow fleet managers to calculate cost savings and select vehicles, as well as through driver training sessions to help optimize the performance of their plug-ins.
As a fleet manager I need to ensure that I have the right vehicle to fulfill our day-to-day travel requirements, while at the same time keeping operation costs on budget. Today’s announcement gives fleet managers the green light on electric vehicle availability that we need to really start planning the integration of these vehicles in our fleets.
—Gerry Pietschmann, Director of Fleet Services for the City of Toronto
Public and private fleets are responsible for thousands of vehicles operating in Ontario. Many are high-mileage, short trip vehicles making them well-suited for replacement by electric vehicles.
More than 6,000 Canadians have already signed up for the latest information on Nissan LEAF at www.nissan.ca/LEAF.
