Jersey Post has received a very special delivery of its own – a fleet of 15 all-electric Nissan e-NV200s.
The Channel Island’s postal service will use the vehicles to deliver the mail on routes across Jersey.
They are the first electric vehicles to be added to the company’s fleet of more than 100 vehicles and their purchase follows an extensive 18-month trial. The e-NV200s were supplied by local dealer, Freelance Nissan.
Jersey Post was drawn to the e-NV200 by its performance and its useful load capacity. With the company choosing to buy its new vans outright, Nissan’s market-leading five-year 100,000 miles’ warranty also influenced its purchasing decision.
Andy Jehan, Director of Operations at Jersey Post, said: “The vans are going to make a very significant contribution in our ambition to lower the environmental impact of our fleet and help preserve the beauty of our island – both in terms of carbon emissions and noise – and they’re also ideal for the short distance, stop/start driving that the job involves.
“The value is exceptional too, our decision to switch being ultimately based on the financial projections we have made on whole life costs. If our projections prove accurate, then there’s no reason why many more of our vehicles shouldn’t be electric.”
