The Nissan Nuvu (Japanese 日産・ニューヴ Nyuuvu, literally meaning new view – "new look") is a compact all-electric city car produced by Japanese car manufacturer Nissan and presented at the 2008 Paris Motor Show.[1] The concept car featured 2+1 seating, with solar panels shaped like tree leaves on the roof that channel the sun's power through a "tree trunk" conduit in the centre of the vehicle. It can reach about 75 mph (121 km/h) and travel up to about 80 mi (129 km) on an electric charge.[2][3] A production model based on the Nuvu was not created, but some of the technologies used on the concept were subsequently installed on the production Nissan Leaf.
