Donation of e-NV200 to Iwaki OtentoSUN Enterprise Cooperative

Nissan and its employee volunteers have provided disaster relief in a variety of ways in cooperation with the Iwaki OtentoSUN Enterprise Cooperative, which is based in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture. This included Nissan’s donation of an e-NV200 electric vehicle for use as needed at the Iwaki Natural Energy School in developing human resources and natural energy industries, and to provide a mobile power supply at outdoor events.

The Iwaki OtentoSUN Enterprise Cooperative took on the challenge of building a new town through collaborative efforts by creating a “wheel” of local residents, evacuees from other areas, farmers, businesses, NPOs, various volunteers and local governments.

This reconstruction work in Fukushima focused on three pillars:

1) Taking advantage of dormant land, establish operations to grow and commercialize organic cotton resistant to salt damage

2) Conducting inspection tours of the affected area

3) Re-establishing community electrical utilities
