Earlier this week, we rolled out a
time-lapse video of the assembly of the
2011 Chevrolet Volt. In that video,
General Motors took us inside its Detroit-Hamtramck plant to watch its plug-in hybrid undergo a transformation from a bodyshell to a
ready-to-roll vehicle. In the all-too-brief clip, GM attempted to capture the complex steps of assembling the Chevy Volt but, as many of our commenters pointed out, failed to provide a detailed look at the intricate technologies that differentiate the Volt from more conventional vehicles.
In an attempt to be as fair as possible, it's only fitting that we also showcase the assembly of the
2011 Nissan Leaf. This video, shot inside Nissan's plant in Oppama, Japan, captures the production of the Leaf in painstaking detail.
Hit the jump to watch the Nissan Leaf as it comes together right before your eyes.
