The Renault-Nissan alliance has sold 350 000 electric vehicles (EVs) globally since December 2010, when the electric Nissan Leaf went on sale, the alliance announced on Tuesday.

The alliance achieved the milestone in August, while also setting an industry record of 100 000 EVs sold in a single year.

"This historic milestone confirms our customers' recognition of the benefits of Renault and Nissan EVs," noted alliance CEO Carlos Ghosn on Tuesday.

The Renault-Nissan alliance has a range of zero-emission vehicles for personal and business use. In addition to the Leaf, Nissan also sells the e-NV200, a light commercial vehicle that has been sold mainly in Europe and Japan since 2014.

The Nissan Leaf has driven more than 2.7-billion kilometres, preventing an estimated 455-million tonnes of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere.

Nissan launched the updated Nissan Leaf, which features a range of 250 km, in the US and Japan in late 2015, and in Europe earlier this year.

In January, the alliance announced plans to launch more than ten vehicles with autonomous drive technology by 2020.

The technology will be installed on mainstream, mass-market cars at affordable prices, confirming the alliance's commitment to achieve its twin goals of zero emissions and zero fatalities.
