Environment Technologies
- Fastest Route Guidance Systems helps provide fastest route guidance using traffic information to minimize travel time. To help reduce CO2 emission substantially, traffic system has to be improved as well as the vehicle system.
- Nissan has developed a 70 MPa high-pressure hydrogen storage system for the purpose of extending the driving range of fuel cell vehicles.
- Nissan has developed a significantly smaller inverter - one of the key technologies in electric-powered vehicle development - with the aim of integrating it into the motor itself.
- Nissan has independently developed the Super Motor based on an all-new concept. One motor provides output through two shafts, enabling it to function as both a motor and a generator. This innovative technology has a wide range of potential applications.
- Despite its compact dimensions, ultra-thin motor has twice the torque output of a conventional electric motor. This is achieved by optimising the layout of its electromagnetic coils and permanent magnets, and by adopting a 3D magnetic-flux-path structure to help the flux flow efficiently.
- The CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) provides smooth and "stepless" ratio changes, unlike conventional transmission systems that use sets of fixed gears.
- This real-time measuring system for combustion gas temperatures is the first in the world to include a method and device (sensor installed in the spark plug) capable of continuously and accurately measuring gas temperatures within a combustion chamber and is an indispensable technology for developing environmentally-friendly engines.
- Nissan introduced its ultra-low precious metal catalyst on the new Cube. The breakthrough catalyst, a world's first, utilizes half the amount of precious metals compared with conventional catalysts.This technology has been developed under the Renault-Nissan Alliance, and future applications will include Renault vehicles and diesel engines as well as potential for non-automotive application.
- Nissan has substantially reduced friction between engine parts by developing the first technology in the world to combine a hydrogen-free diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating with special oil.
- Nissan has developed a new engine mechanism that enables both high power of turbo engine and low fuel consumption of non-turbo engine.
- Nissan has developed high-performance catalyst technology to meet the state of California's standard for super-ultra-low emission vehicles (SULEVs), equivalent to the Tier2Bin2 emission requirements.
- The new Nissan Dual Injector system doubles the number of injectors per cylinder.
- Platform for the electric vehicle to be released from Japan and the US. Designed and developed specially for the EV, its thin, laminated battery pack under the floor, it will have a roomy cabin.
- The system allows charging an EV without a connecting cable, simply by parking it in a designated spot, much like charging an electric toothbrush or shaver.
- Nissan LEAF and its driver are always connected. The dedicated IT system adds comfort and convenience. The dedicated IT system furnishes important information and helps intelligently control energy before, during and after driving. Nissan LEAF creates new value in a broad variety of situations.
- Nissan LEAF is a pure electric vehicle powered only by electricity, and its battery can be charged at home. The electric motor that replaces the conventional engine offers a totally different driving experience with quiet and responsive acceleration.
- Nissan has developed clean diesel technology which meets the state of California's standard for super-ultra-low emission vehicles (SULEVs), as part of the company's ultimate goal of making engine exhaust to the atmospheric level.
- HCCI is the ultimate combustion method for achieving both CO2 reduction and clean exhaust using auto-ignition of gasoline, as in a diesel engine. Nissan is developing this technology for commercial use.
- To build the ultimate HCCI engine for low fuel consumption and emissions, Nissan has developed pioneering visual simulation technology that models the engine in minute detail in three dimensions. This greatly assists in precise understanding of the chemical reactions in the combustion process, leading to more efficient engine development.
- ECO Drive Support Service provides the information to support driver's fuel efficient driving. By changing driving habit through ECO Drive Support Service, individual drivers can help contribute to reduce CO2 emission.
