Ladies and gents, the countdown is on – and it’s not the New Years countdown that you might be thinking of, but rather the highly anticipated arrival of the 2018 Nissan Leaf. New models of this next-gen vehicle will be ready for test driving on North American soil in a matter of weeks. It almost feels like Christmas morning, hearing this news!
Â
As we speak, the Smyrna Assembly Plant in Tennessee is cranking out models of the all-new Leaf. They are one of three global facilities producing the EV, along with the Oppama plant in Yokosuka, Japan, and a factory in Sunderland, England.
Â
Smyrna has been home to the Leaf since 2013 where Nissan employs 8400 people and makes 640,000 vehicles a year. It’s no doubt a big week in Tennessee as they kick off production of the most dynamic and revolutionary vehicle ever built here.
