UK: Nissan Leaf September Sales Set New European Record

Figures released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) show the Nissan LEAF clocked up 851 sales during September, up 156% on the same month last year (332 sold), and topping March 2014 (the previous record month) when 630 were sold. 

This strong performance was not only a record for the UK, but represents the largest volume of Nissan LEAFs ever sold in one month in a European market.

Sales of the British-built Nissan LEAF have already bettered the 1,812 vehicles sold in 2013, with 2,969 cars sold so far this year.

The SMMT figures show that the LEAF secured a 70% share of the EV sales in September, and a 66% share this year.
