Hybrid vehicles, which run on a combination of a gasoline-powered engine and an electric motor, may allow improvement of fuel efficiency and considerable reductions in CO2 emissions. Nissan has developed a unique hybrid system using a high-output lithium-ion battery together with a single motor for both drive and regeneration, as well as an Intelligent Dual Clutch Control system in which two clutches are linked in parallel, one to the motor and one directly to the engine and transmission. Vehicle using the system deliver both fuel efficiency and powerful responsiveness.
Hybrid vehicles (HEVs)
Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs)
Fuel cells derive electric energy directly from the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen, and their sole emission is water, making them an exceptionally efficient and clean power source.
​
Nissan's aim is to develop a practical FCEV with superior environmental and energy-saving performance while maintaining ease of handling as an automobile, by employing elements of the various technologies Nissan has cultivated over the years (lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles, high voltage electric system technology, control technology for hybrid vehicles, high pressure gas storage technology for compressed natural gas vehicles, and more).
