Eucalyptus Leaf

Did you know the Leaf contains an Australian-made water-jacket cover and lid with a tiny kangaroo stamped on it, among the 2.5 million die-cast aluminium parts and over 25,000 accessories exported throughout the Nissan-renault-mitsubishi Alliance universe annually? It’s the remnant of the company’s local manufacturing years (1972-’92), an era in which the Nissan Casting Australia Plant employed nearly 200 people working three shifts six days a week at its peak. Fair dinkum!
