Improved Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency
Nissan strives to develop technologies to maximize the overall energy
efficiency of internal combustion engines and improve transmission
performance. It is also working to boost the efficiency of hybrid systems that
gather and reuse kinetic energy captured from braking. Nissan’s core
technologies in this area are lithium-ion batteries, Intelligent Dual Clutch
Control Hybrid and Xtronic transmission (Continuously Variable
Transmission: CVT) systems. Considering space within the vehicle, usage,
price and other factors, the company selects the optimum fuel-efficiency
technologies for particular vehicles and launches them in the market. The
aim is to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions without sacrificing fun
and ease of driving. Nissan is steadily launching new products in its line of
particularly low-emission, fuel-efficient PURE DRIVE vehicles
