"The Nissan LEAF has helped Nissan win yet another award. Nissan has been awarded Green Car Guide’s Greenest Manufacturer of the Year Award for their commitment to the environmental cause with its LEAF electric vehicle.
The award is normally given to automakers that focus on providing vehicles with less emissions, but the LEAF supersedes that standard by being a zero-emissions vehicle.
Paul Willcox, Managing Director of Nissan Motor, had this to say about Nissan winning the award:
“Nissan is delighted to win the Greenest Manufacturer of the Year Award from Green-Car-Guide.com. The Nissan LEAF is pioneering the electric car revolution in the UK and this award is further acknowledgment of our vision of sustainable mobility. We are also continuing with our efforts to reduce emissions in our petrol and diesel powered cars and this can be seen with the latest edition to the Micra range, the 1.2-litre DIG-S, which produces just 95 g/km of CO2,” explains Paul Willcox, Managing Director of Nissan Motor.
Green Car Guide founder Paul Clarke praised the Nissan LEAF for being a standout vehicle and setting a standard in the EV market.
“Nissan has shown real leadership by launching the world’s first all-electric family hatchback. However, not only has the company brought the vehicle to market, the LEAF is also an excellent car to drive. It makes particular sense in urban areas, especially London, where there are real air quality issues, and where daily driving distances are generally well within the range of an electric vehicle. Green-Car-Guide.com is pleased to acknowledge Nissan as a pioneer in bringing quality zero emission vehicles to market on a significant scale,” said Green Car Guide founder Paul Clarke."
