Nissan has become a UK distributor for European manufacturer of electric micro-mobility vehicles Silence.
Under the partnership, Nissan will hold distribution and service rights in the UK from October 2024 for Acciona’s Silence product range, including S04 quadricycle vehicles and electric motorcycles, and S04 Nanocar.
Engineered for agility in city environments, the compact, lightweight Nanocar EV comes in two variants – the L6e and L7e – tailored to meet urban driving needs.
Each variant has a strong electric powered range, from 92 miles (L7e) to 109 miles (L6e), with top speeds reaching 28mph (L6e) and 54mph (L7e).
Powered by two 5.6kWh batteries, it offers various charging options, including direct charging, battery swapping at dedicated stations – available with subscription where available – and home or office charging through a removable battery pack.
Gareth Dunsmore, Managing Director e-Micro Mobility at Nissan Africa, Middle East, India, Europe & Oceania, said: “Following Italy, France and Germany, I am excited to see our partnership now expanding to the UK.
“Through this Nissan partnership with Acciona, we’re ensuring that many more people across Europe have access to electric mobility and can embark on their EV journey.”
Carlos Sotelo, CEO of Acciona’s mobility business and Silence, said, “The needs of drivers in today’s towns and cities are changing – their commute, their attitudes to mobility, and what constitutes a realistic and efficient way for them to get around urban areas.
“To respond to this, we need to think smarter, smaller and lighter. Silence’s light EVs, partnered with Nissan’s strong distribution network, offers new, exciting, and clever options for urban mobility in Europe, shaping a more sustainable future.”
