The new hybrid system was developed to improve environmental performance while also pursuing Nissan's objectives of direct response. The system incorporates a lithium-ion battery to improve fuel economy while also "fulfilling driving pleasure".

System Overview

The parallel hybrid system connects a motor operating both propulsion and regeneration, directly with the engine and transmission using two clutches. The system incorporates a high-power lithium-ion battery.

• Driving pleasure is improved through a parallel hybrid system that directly transmits engine power, and motor power assist from a high-power lithium-ion battery.
• Fuel economy is increased by separating the engine and driving by motor using the lithium-ion battery power.
