e-POWER technology features a small gasoline engine that charges a high-output battery, eliminating the need for an external charging source. Today, the zero-emission Nissan LEAF has cumulative global sales of more than 300,000 units. Nissan has sold more than 100,000 Nissan LEAFs in Japan since the model first went on sale.

The trade wars, lower economic growth and tougher emissions regulations came long before the COVID-19 crisis. Demand in Latin America fell by 30% to 318,000 units, following restrictions in Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru, and more recently Brazil and Mexico. While Japan, Korea and the CIS countries recorded very low decreases.

The Jewel E is powered by Equipmake’s Zero Emission Drivetrain (ZED). Integrated into the prop shaft without the need for a separate transmission, the motor is engineered to meet the requirements of a fully laden double-decker bus by producing 3,500 N·m torque at a low motor speed of 1,000 rpm and delivering 400kW maximum power.
