Nissan Motor India marked World Environment Day by unveiling a series of eco-friendly measures, including solar-powered dealerships, a CNG retrofit kit for the Magnite, and nationwide tree-plantation drives, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable mobility.
Key Sustainability Initiatives
1. Solar-Powered Dealerships
- 7 dealerships across India (e.g., Acuity Nissan Baroda, EVM Nissan Kerala) now operate on 100% solar energy.
- Excess power is fed back into the grid, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
2. “Plant a Tree” Campaign
- Customers and staff planted saplings at dealerships, tagged with their names/vehicle numbers as a green legacy.
- Participants received seed packets and a “Green Service Certificate”.
3. CNG Retrofit Kit for Nissan Magnite
- Priced at ₹74,999, the govt-approved kit offers a cleaner, fuel-efficient alternative for Magnite owners.
- Available in 7 states (Delhi-NCR, Maharashtra, Gujarat, etc.).
4. Plastic Reduction
- 15% reduction in packaging plastic usage across operations.
Why These Initiatives Matter
- Solar Dealerships: Cut carbon emissions and operational costs.
- CNG Magnite: Lowers running costs by 30–40% compared to petrol, with reduced emissions.
- Tree Planting: Aims to offset 500+ tons of CO₂ annually.
