| Why Are FCVs Necessary? (FCV:Fuel Cell Vehicle) |
 |
|
It is clear that fossil fuels are a limited resource. Because Nissan sees expansion in mobility as an inevitable part of economic development in developing countries, we believe the best way we can contribute is by harnessing the technological strengths that we have accumulated over the years.

FCV:Fuel Cell Vehicle
|
The fuel cell vehicle (FCV) is expected to play an increasingly important role as a clean energy vehicle. The greatest feature of the FCV is that its sole emission is water, produced through the generation of electric energy in a chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen.
| Development of the Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV) |
|
The Nissan FCV employs elements of a variety of technologies, including electric vehicle (EV), hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), and compressed natural gas vehicle (CNGV) technologies.
Nissan's FCV applies technologies that have been developed in Nissan, such as lithium ion batteries and high voltage electric systems for electric vehicles, control technologies for hybrid vehicles and high pressure gas storage systems for CNGV. Nissan has been developing FCVs that aims to achieve excellent environmental and energy-saving capability.
