Chief executive Carlos Ghosn said it will “lead the way to a zero-emission future, opening a new era in the automotive industry.” unveiling the car at the group’s new headquarters in Yokohama, southwest of Tokyo. “The Leaf is totally neutral to the environment: there is no exhaust pipe, no gasoline-burning engine.
