Nissan Teams Up With City Of Houston For Zero-emission Vehicle

Published: 05-Feb-2010

Nissan has entered into an agreement with the city of Houston to advance zero-emission mobility in the city by promoting the development of an electric-vehicle charging network and policies to support adoptions of electric cars.

Nissan has signed a similar working agreement with Reliant Energy of Houston, an electricity provider in Texas. As a part of the agreement, Nissan and the city of Houston, along with Reliant Energy, will develop plans to promote a charging infrastructure for electric cars that encourages home and workplace charging, as well as a public-charging infrastructure.

Carlos Tavares, chairman of Nissan Americas, said: "For more than 100 years, Houston has pioneered advances in the energy field. With the same spirit of innovation, Nissan and the Renault-Nissan Alliance are committed to lead the way in the field of zero-emission automotive technologies. We are the only global automaker bringing an electric-vehicle lineup to drivers on a mass-market scale and at an affordable price."

Jason Few, president of Reliant Energy, said: "I want to congratulate the city of Houston and Nissan on today's agreement. This important step builds on the agreement we reached with Nissan late last year and is critical to the success of electric vehicles in Houston. We are working to create the infrastructure, services and a whole new way to buy power by the mile."

Nissan claims that it has a holistic approach to zero-emission mobility by working with states, municipalities, utility companies and other partners to prepare markets and infrastructure.
