Nissan’s influence in the market for small cars, SUVs, commercial vehicles, and electric vehicles has made it a pioneer in automobile innovation and engineering. Recently, they announced their partnership with Foster + Partners, an international studio for architecture, engineering, and design, to consider a “future of mobility” concept. This concept deals with zero emission technology and its impact on design.
Nissan concludes that the fuel station of the future is the automobile itself. As technology develops, so will our way of living. Nissan illustrates this with a video featuring Nissan LEAF and futuristic IDS Concept. They believe that when technologies integrate with each other, many of the challenges in cities can be tackled. Thus, they’ve mused with the idea of a transport system that is both environment- and infrastructure-reliant.
As a forerunner of the commercial electric vehicle and zero-emission technology, Nissan is running trials that allow drivers to act as energy hubs to store, use, and return clean energy to the grid. This concept includes coupling advances in its second-life batteries with a vehicle-to-grid system.
The use of energy in cars can be optimized with combining many of the automobile’s technologies such as vehicle-to-grid, wireless charging, battery storage and autonomous drive technology. As the world embraces renewable energy, it becomes vital to creating a sustainable refueling network. Infrastructure is another challenge that they are looking to overcome due to the rapid urbanization and growth of cities.
The collaboration will look into Nissan’s vision for Intelligent Mobility where cars interact with their environment as populations move on to zero emission technologies. Rush to the Cardinale Nissan showroom to know more about Nissan cars.
