Nissan Pure Drive

 

If you have been looking at Nissan vehicles recently, you have likely heard about Nissan Pure Drive but may not yet know what it really means. It is the name that is given to any Nissan vehicles that have the internal combustion engines that help to reduce CO2 emissions. It is just one of the ways that Nissan is attempting to make a difference in the world with one small change at a time.

Why Nissan Developed Pure Drive

How Does it Work?

Pure Drive is a system that is designed to bring together many technologies that are environmentally friendly and will help with fuel efficiency. One of the technologies included is Idling Stop. This is the start and stop system developed by Nissan. This technology is designed to reduce unnecessary fuel usage and reduce energy loss within the power train. It does this by stopping the engine when the vehicle is not moving so the fuel economy can be improved. Some vehicles with Pure Drive feature a hybrid system that can recover wasted energy and increase performance. There are some others that have superchargers on the small engines that help to obtain a reduction in CO2 that is equivalent to a hybrid vehicle. Another technology that has been used is ECO mode and an ECO pedal. This can provide the driver with an economical driving option while using the Xtronic CVT to make sure the drive is still fun. This creates the best of both worlds for drivers looking to make a difference in the world.

Nissan is focusing on these options in the market because while they think that electric vehicles are the future of transportation, they also know that there will be engine powered vehicles for many years to come. They wanted to make a difference with these vehicles now to showcase that even though a vehicle has low emissions, it does not have to be boring and you can still do everything that you want to in a vehicle. Until engine powered vehicles are the thing of the past, Nissan will still continue to find ways to improve them so your carbon footprint is smaller. There are many different Pure Drive vehicles available from Nissan so if you are interested in learning more about them or testing one for yourself, be sure to contact us or stop by the showroom today.
