Silence Nano S04 to launch in UK with Nissan as distributor

The Silence Nano S04 quadricycle is to launch in the UK and Nissan will be the distributor – as well as for Silence e-motorcycles.

The Silence Nano S04 compact, lightweight electric vehicle comes in two variants, the L6e and L7e. The L6e offers a top speed of 28mph and an electric driving range of 109 miles, or 54mph and 92 miles in the case of the L7e.

Powered by two 5.6kWh batteries, the Silence Nano S04 offers quick, simple, convenient charging options, including direct charging, battery swapping at dedicated stations (available with subscription where available), and home or office charging through a removable battery pack.

Gareth Dunsmore, Managing Director e-Micro Mobility at Nissan AMIEO (Africa, Middle East, India, Europe & Oceania), said: “Following Italy, France and Germany, I am excited to see our partnership now expanding to the UK. Through this Nissan partnership with ACCIONA, we’re ensuring that many more people across Europe have access to electric mobility and can embark on their EV journey. By opening access to Silence’s diverse range of alternative products, we are easing the EV transition by combining clean mobility with cutting-edge technology, in functional and flexible vehicles.”

This partnership follows Nissan’s recent launch of The Arc – its new business plan focused strongly on driving value and strengthening competitiveness. Along with the launch of 11 new models to supercharge sales in the region, at the heart of The Arc is the strategic use of partnerships to drive business growth and transformation, hand-in-hand with like-minded organisations. Smart, forward-looking collaborations with innovative companies such as Silence showcase this strategy, aligning with Nissan’s goals to explore new revenue streams, accelerate the transition to EVs, and respond to the diverse and changing needs of Nissan customers today and tomorrow.

Crucially, this partnership reinforces Nissan’s commitment to a sustainable future, and its ambition to help create a cleaner, safer, and more inclusive world. By giving customers across Europe access to new mobility solutions, offering greater diversity of choice, and expanding into new territory, Nissan is lowering the barrier to entry for those who want to go electric – ensuring the transition to electric mobility is inclusive and accessible for all.

Carlos Sotelo, CEO of ACCIONA’s mobility business and Silence, adds: “The needs of drivers in today’s towns and cities are changing – their commute, their attitudes to mobility, and what constitutes a realistic and efficient way for them to get around urban areas. To respond to this, we need to think smarter, smaller and lighter. Silence’s light electric vehicles, partnered with Nissan’s strong distribution network, offers new, exciting, and clever options for urban mobility in Europe, shaping a more sustainable future.”
