Nissan LEAF Electric Car Reservations to Begin in the U.S. in Spring 2010
FRANKLIN, Tenn. (October 1, 2009) - In response to strong initial demand for the Nissan LEAF zero-emission electric car, Nissan North America, Inc. announced it will begin taking reservations for LEAF in spring 2010. Nearly 22,000 people in North America have contacted Nissan since the company unveiled the car in August.
"The groundswell of interest, especially from people in our initial launch markets, demonstrates to us the importance of a reservation system," said Carlos Tavares, head of Nissan's operations in North, Central and South America. "Our goal is to confirm at least 20,000 reservations for Nissan LEAF by the time we deliver the world's first mass-market zero-emission car in late 2010."
Nissan will invite people to "opt-in" and receive updates and information about LEAF through a reservation system that will tell them when the electric car is available - either for test drives or to take home. Participants will receive the latest news about the company's zero-emission activities as well as information about Nissan LEAF and how to become "plug-in ready."
"We'll continue to reach out to this enthusiastic and rapidly growing group as we approach launch," said Tavares.
About 70 percent of the people in North America who have contacted Nissan about LEAF reside in markets where the all-electric zero-emission car first will be brought to market.
