Nissan Advances Electric Vehicle Technology

Nissan vehicles are some of the most fuel efficient vehicles on the road today. Recently, Nissan has developed, in partnership with NEC Corporation, a new lithium-ion battery that may take the idea of the all-electric car and make it much more feasible for today’s market.

These advances suggest that a new electric vehicle could go as far as 100 miles between charges, and would have a smaller, lighter battery. 100 miles is a significant leap over the 40-mile range of many early Electric Vehicles. that relied on nickel-metal-hydride batteries.

These newer batter advancements give the manufacturer the option of packaging them into the Nissan vehicle easier, and make it easier for Nissan to get an electric car to the mass market.

Over the next three years, Nissan will invest billions of dollars to introduce an electric car in the U.S., as well as other markets. A concept version of Nissan’s electric car will be shown in Japan in August. Nissan’s electric car will start selling in the U.s. some time in 2010.

The Nissan Cube EV

The Nissan Electric Vehicle prototype has been seen by auto industry enthusiasts and experts in Detroit, and this prototype all-electric Nissan Cube hasn’t failed to impress. The Cube electric prototype is one of the most sophisticated of the Electric Vehicles on the market and in design today.

One of the most noticeable things about the Cube EV is that it is quiet. It obviously doesn’t have the noise of pistons firing and other noises that you get from a gas engine, but it doesn’t have the high-pitched electrical whine that is so often the case with other Electric Vehicle prototypes.

The Nissan EV will be designed as a city vehicle, able to travel 70 miles on a single charge. It will serve very well as a second car for families who may rely on a gas-powered vehicle for longer trips and the EV for city driving.

The earliest that Nissan will release their Electric Vehicle will be in 2010. In the meantime, check out all of the amazing Nissan vehicles at your local Nissan dealer today.

Nissan Vehicles Highlighted in New Campaign

One area that Nissan vehicles have really excelled in over the past few years is its marketing and advertising campaigns. Whether it is featuring their latest car on the top television shows, or whether it’s innovative use of the Internet, Nissan marketing has been stellar.

One of the most recent marketing efforts from Nissan has focused on a new direction. This advertising campaign, which uses print, direct mail, online and broadcast media, focuses on third-party recommendations of Nissan vehicles.

One commercial, for example, talks about a competitor of the Nissan Altima. It is described in the words of auto magazines as “perfectly boring” and “dull as dishwater.” The announcer then says, “Quality doesn’t have to be boring,” and highlights the Nissan Altima.

The campaign uses the words of some of the leading authorities in the automotive world to get the point across that Nissan vehicles are some of the best vehicles on the road today.
