Production of all-new Nissan Leaf begins in Europe

Production of the all-new Nissan LEAF is officially underway for European customers.

With the first new LEAFs now rolling off the line at Nissan’s plant in Sunderland, UK, the countdown has now started to the first customers receiving their vehicles in February.

Kevin Fitzpatrick, Nissan Europe divisional vice president for manufacturing, said: “Nissan led the way in introducing electric vehicles to Europe in 2011, and every year since then it’s been clear that more and more customers share our vision for the future of driving.

“We're excited to start production in Sunderland and to bring the new Nissan LEAF to European markets from February.”
The new Nissan LEAF offers an improved range of around 235 miles on a single charge, allowing drivers to enjoy longer journeys, interconnected by the extended European CHAdeMO Quick Charging network.
