2011 Nissan Leaf

2011 Nissan Leaf is the affordable green car which was launched to reduce the level of vehicle emission which is increasing day by day. Vice President and General Manager of Nissan Division, Nissan North America, Inc. (NNA) Al Castignetti said, “There’s little debate on the need to reduce vehicle emissions in the future.

Nissan is taking an aggressive approach to establishing leadership in zero-emission vehicles, with the LEAF being our first effort. However we’re not doing this solely to meet regulations or to wrap the Nissan brand in a green halo. We’re producing the Nissan LEAF because it makes good sense to Nissan and to our customers. To reach a larger audience, beyond the early adopters and green-intenders, we must get the right product.”
