Nissan is present at the UEFA Champions League Final in Madrid, Spain for the fifth season as Official Automotive Sponsor with a record number of electric cars.

“Nissan aims to improve air quality and reduce the environmental impact on the host city during this high-traffic weekend, with the largest zero-emissions fleet in the history of the competition.”

The nice thing is also that this year Brazilian football legend Roberto Carlos will deliver the trophy in the Nissan LEAF NISMO RC 2.0!

In terms of EV sales in Europe, Nissan is currently experiencing a slowdown, but it could change with the introduction of the new Nissan LEAF e+ with 62 kWh battery.

The latest press release indicates that preparations are in progress:

“The final comes as Nissan prepares to begin deliveries of the new LEAF e+ to European customers, introducing a new 62kWh battery with a range of 385km, new personalisation options and equipped with Nissan’s e-Pedal and ProPILOT technologies.”
