In his latest TV adventure, his earthly defense team will rely on a new zero-emission source for mobility: electric vehicles. The Japanese cosmic giant and Defense Team UPG will use reconfigured Nissan EVs – a Nissan LEAF and e-NV200 – in the 16-part “Ultraman Ginga S” TV series, set to air from mid-July in Japan. The new TV Tokyo series is the latest iteration of the positively charged character that first appeared in 1966. To celebrate the new season and ultra zero-emissions mobility, photo sessions for the two decked-out EVs will be held at Tokyo Big Site from Wednesday in conjunction with Tsuburaya Productions. The video above gives a behind-the-scenes look at the Nissan EVs as they were transformed, as well as innovations such as the Autonomous Drive EV mode for the UPG team. # # # Issued by Nissan Files Ultraman.pdf (113 KB) Save Remove Download Share Photos / Galleries / Videos Subscribe to Email Alerts Files Ultraman.pdf (113 KB)
