In Japan they have decided to put the national electric car, the Nissan Leaf, to patrol the streets and roads of Fukuoka in a clean and silent way.
Nissan has published on its official YouTube channel for Japan a video that shows us the ceremony of delivery of the 22 units of the new generation Nissan Leaf that will serve as patrol car to the police of Fukuoka prefecture.
