Nissan’s Eco-driving Support Service
Today, Nissan announced that it would begin testing an Eco-driving Support System that would advise drivers on fuel-efficient methods of driving using real-time processes. Nissan will begin testing the service on September 24.
The service will be made available through Nissan’s CARWINGS navigation system website, will evaluate the driving behavior of drivers who are currently taking part in Nissan’s SKY Project2 in Kanagawa Prefecture. The SKY Project began in October of 2006 and aimed to develop technology that helped vehicle-to-vehicle communication. The idea behind the SKY Project is to reduce traffic congestion and to help communication between drivers on busy roads.
The idea behind eco-driving is to help reduce the CO2 on the roads. By offering drivers real-time tips while the car is in motion, Nissan’s system can help the decision-making process during operation. The new Eco-driving Support Service can potentially improve fuel efficiency by basing its advice on individual driver’s habits, giving a more personalized approach to the tips and guidelines.
Eco-driving tips offered while the system is in operation include slowing down, careful acceleration techniques, smooth deceleration techniques, and so on.
Nissan’s Green Program 2010 will continue to build on the Eco-driving Support Service and will offer drivers more tips and guidelines for saving money behind the wheel. For more information on this system and its potential availability in North America, contact your local Nissan cars dealer.
