Leaf production under way at Oppama 'fairly small', but expected to grow

Vehicle manufacturer Nissan intends to initially produce about 140 Leaf 2 electric vehicles (EVs) a day from its Oppama mixed-model vehicle manufacturing plant in Yokohama, Japan, the company said on Thursday. Leaf production has just started at the plant, so it is currently "fairly small", but the company hopes to grow this number going forward. Sales of the new zero-emissions EVs are scheduled to start on October 2 in Japan.
