ROLLE, Switzerland, May 24, 2015
Nissan will supply over 100 electric vehicles to Uefa and associated sponsors to transport guests and officials in the build-up to Uefa Champions League Final in Berlin, Germany.
Nissan, producer of the biggest selling electric vehicle (EV) in the world, is the official automotive partner of the Uefa Champions League.
To further support this, Nissan is installing 129 electric car charging stations around Tegel International Airport, various Berlin hotels and the Olympiastadion, several of which will remain as a lasting legacy for the city.
Bastien Schupp, vice president, marketing – Nissan Europe, said: “The final in Berlin will mark the climax of year one of Nissan’s partnership with the Uefa Champions League. The partnership has enabled us to highlight our commitment to EV and bring to life our brand values of innovation and excitement. I’m especially pleased that the great relationship we have with Uefa has enabled us to do something lasting and positive for the people of Berlin with the installation of more EV charging points, adding to Nissan’s network, which is already the biggest in Europe.”
In Berlin from June 3-7, Nissan will also be hosting interactive fan experiences at the Uefa Champions Festival. Attending fans will have the chance to play 2x2 in the interactive Football Cage, test their skills in the Nissan Performance Maze and recreate moments of genius by Nissan ambassadors in the Test Area.
The energy created at Uefa Champions Festival by fans will be converted into an equivalent amount of kilowatts and harnessed to help power the Uefa Champions League trophy to the Final at the Olympiastadion. Participants generating the most kilowatts will receive tickets to the final as well as an exclusive opportunity to accompany the trophy on its journey from the Uefa Champions Festival to the stadium in a specially designed Nissan e-NV200 all-electric van on match day as part of the Uefa Trophy Parade. - TradeArabia News Service
