Acciona has partnered with nissan for the distribution of the new NanoCar Silence S04, which is why the Japanese firm will have the distribution rights in France and Italy for this vehicle, as well as for Silence electric motorcycles, which will be extended to other European markets starting in September.
The alliance allows Silence to access the Nissan dealer network
Acciona's agreement with nissan facilitates access to all those who decide to switch to electric mobility. The brand has just launched a new business plan, The Arc, which includes the use of strategic alliances to drive business growth and transformation, among other objectives. The collaboration with Silence is a step forward in this strategy.
For its part, Silence will expand its battery exchange service next year to other European markets, copying its current network in Spain and reducing the initial purchase cost of its vehicles.
The ecosystem of battery stations already available in Spain has more than 110 locations and about 1,110 battery exchange points. The goal is to reach 160 stations with 1,600 battery exchange points before the end of the year.
Customers will be able to see both S04 models, as well as the Silence range of electric motorcycles on sale at Nissan dealerships in France and Italy in June 2024, with plans to expand to other European territories, such as Germany, from September.
