Nissan has started production of the Townstar EV. The all-electric variant of the new compact van is based on Allianz's CMF-C platform and is manufactured at the center of excellence for vans in Maubeuge, France.

With the Townstar EV, Nissan is taking another important step towards realizing the Nissan Ambition 2030 and the company's goal of being carbon neutral by 2050. The model is coming to Europe this fall, building on the success of the Nissan e-NV200. Nissan leverages its experience in the electric light commercial vehicle (e-LCV) segment and has further expanded its strengths in the areas of performance, reliability and sustainability.

The all-electric variant of the Townstar has an optimized powertrain with intelligent energy management and battery cooling. Thanks to its aerodynamic body elements and the associated efficiency, the Townstar can achieve a range of over 300 kilometers (according to WLTP) depending on the equipment line. The electric motor has an output of 90 kW/122 hp and develops 245 Nm of torque. The 45 kWh battery can be charged with AC (11 kW or 22 kW) or with DC via the CCS connector. The latter enables charging from 15 to 80 percent in just 37 minutes.

The Townstar is characterized by a fresh and modern design in the current Nissan style. The tailor-made front apron features an intricate kumiko pattern that reflects the model's Japanese DNA and gives the vehicle a high-quality character.

In the interior, customer satisfaction and ergonomics come first. More than 20 technologies, including a 10-inch digital instrument display and integrated connectivity services, make the Townstar EV the most advanced van in the brand's LCV portfolio.
