In 2014, Nissan launched the Nissan Future Lab. This organization researches the constant changes in the vehicle industry and how Nissan can stay ahead of the game with cutting edge technology. The Nissan Future Lab predicted two trends that are bound to gain traction in the future. These two trends are electric vehicles and car sharing.

The Nissan Future Lab’s most recent venture is a joint project with Scoot Networks in San Francisco. With 10 Nissan New Mobility Concept cars, both companies hope to use the program to understand why people like the idea of car sharing, and how it is accomplished. These cars are reserved using an app created by Scoot Networks. Nissan has a similar car sharing program in Japan that has seen success. Tests like these are usually performed in an urban environment so the collected data can give more accurate and useful information. Data collected from these projects can inform Nissan of the most beneficial location to place the vehicles, as well as how the drivers can best return them to their original locations.

Nissan has also predicted electric vehicles to be the next big trend. They recently stated that in the United Kingdom, charging stations will out number of fuel stations by the end of the current decade. This analysis is based on the prediction that zero emission vehicles will soon outnumber standard vehicles. This data is derived from multiple reports that the demand for electric vehicles will sharply increase in the upcoming years. Nissan hasn’t yet been quoted on the influence this will have on the North American market, but it is assumed that these new adjustments will have a global impact.

With this new information, Nissan continues to bring innovative solutions to the market by developing new technology to meet the needs of the consumer. Visit Cardinale Nissan to view the latest models Nissan has to offer!

Nissan recently chose to reveal its new 2017 Nissan Pathfinder in Dallas, Texas. The Nissan Northern American Chairman, Jose Munoz, informed the audience how important Texas was to Nissan’s North American market. Texas is currently behind California as its second-largest consumer base in the United States. Nissan’s success may be due to the large amount of Nissan employees that are located in the area. It also was said that Nissan wants to be recognized in the area as they continue to seek growth.

Nissan plans to supply retailers with a new half-ton Crew Cab edition of its full-size Titan. The company believes this will help ignite additional growth in the region. They are confident that the Pathfinder will be successful in this area, offering something different than its competition. The new redesign makes the vehicle look more rugged, a factor Nissan is hoping will win over consumers. They are confident in their product portfolio and hope that its diversity will draw in new customers.

Another way Nissan is hoping to stimulate growth is by increasing the number of dealerships in the area. The new dealerships help distinguish Nissan from the competition. New dealerships have the capacity to hold up to 1,200 vehicles in inventory and offer perks for the service department, with locker rooms for belongings as well as an area to freshen up after work. Some dealerships also include high-tech identification systems that let employees know the vehicle owner’s information so they can be greeted by name. With these new initiatives, Nissan continues to strive to be the best in its class.

As Nissan pushes for growth, its products reflect the effort they put into pleasing consumers. If you’re interested in finding out everything a Nissan has to offer, visit Cardinale Nissan.

Nissan Leaf Review Long Term

The Nissan Leaf is an out and out electric car and has the earned the distinction of not creating any greenhouse gas emissions or tailpipe pollution while it is operating. Moreover, it has reduced the owners’ reliance on petroleum or gas. Nissan Leaf has bagged several rewards and recognitions since its inception such as Car of the Year in Japan (2011-12), World Car of the Year (2011), Car of the Year in Europe (2011) and the vision for Green Car Vision (2010).

The first battery-operated electric vehicle was introduced by Nissan at the International Auto Show in Los Angeles on December 29, 1997. The vehicle was named Nissan Altra. Nisan produced the Altra EV from 1998 to 2002. But the company produced only 200 cars and was primarily used in the capacity of electric utilities.

The frontal style of Nissan Leaf is marked by a cutting V-shaped design. It is characterized by big and light-emitting headlights made of diode (LED). These headlights split to redirect the flow of air away from its mirrors on the door. Such a feature brings down the aerodynamic drag and noise.

Leaf’s low-beam LED headlights are known to eat up less electricity as compared to the halogen lamps. Nissan took efforts to ensure that its Leaf looks alluring to the potential and the mainstream drivers and so gave a hatchback and sedan like design to the Leaf. There are aerodynamic paneling at the car’s bottom so that the drag can be reduced and aerodynamics can be improved.
