This week has been a big one for Nissan. Hot on the heels of their recognition as an â€œA listâ€ business for H20 stewardship in the 2017 Global Water Report, the automaker has brought home this yearâ€™s Thailand Automotive Quality Award for "Outstanding Brand Image for Environmental Friendly.â€ The distinction recognizes the companyâ€™s pioneering all-electric work with the LEAF and similar vehicles.

The award was presented to Peter Galli, vice president of Communications at Nissan Motor (Thailand) Co., Ltd., by the chair of the Impact Muang Thong Thani event, Dr. Somchai Harnhirun. The distinction comes as a result of the companyâ€™s dedication to electric technology and reduced emissions, as seen in the Note, Almera, March, and LEAF cars.

In his speech, vice president Galli noted the automakerâ€™s longstanding dedication to the environment through 70 years of electric vehicle research, beginning with the Tama line in 1947. Driving pleasure, affordability, and air quality improvement measures are all seen in the latest 2018 LEAF, a zero-emission EV that makes use of ProPILOT Assist Technology. This enables braking, steering, acceleration, and more autonomous assistance in stop-and-go situations on single-lane highways. Additionally, e-Pedal functionality and similar Intelligent Mobility features help ensure safety, all while a 150-mile cruising range is achieved.
