Nissan has extended the warranty for its e-NV200 electric van to five years across all five and seven-seat variants sold in Europe.

The new five-year / 60,000-mile warranty on the Nissan e-NV200 van covers five-seat and seven-seat variants in Europe

Announced at the 2016 IAA Commercial Vehicles Show at Hanover, the warranty guarantees the entire vehicle and its electric drivetrain for five years or up to 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. It covers mechanical and electric vehicle components, battery capacity, corrosion (up to 12 years) and includes roadside assistance. Nissan also offers a three-year warranty on body parts and paint for the e-NV200.

The announcement comes a year Nissan introduce a five-year/100,000-mile warranty on its petrol and diesel LCVs.

Gareth Dunsmore, director of electric vehicles at Nissan Europe, said: “We want to give our customers peace of mind that the Nissan e-NV200 is a reliable and versatile light commercial vehicle and introducing this five year warranty is a clear demonstration of that confidence. We hope that this warranty will offer an even more compelling reason for our customers to consider a zero emission alternative when looking to purchase a new vehicle for their business.”
