The prototype includes a 48 kWh battery with twice the size of the original production model of the Nissan LEAF, representing an increase of 75% of autonomy under normal conditions.
This new project has been created by a group of engineers at the Technical Centre Nissan Barcelona (NTCE-S), whose passion and commitment to his work were the engine of creation of so-called team “Performance Innovation”, the team Nissan Innovation. The team of volunteers carried out a number of exciting projects, expanding the boundaries of the possible in the field of technology of electric vehicles.
The prototype, dubbed “Cocoon” in reference to the film American science fiction of the same name, was built to compete in the Spanish round of the ECOseries, a new initiative that rewards “efficiency and fuel economy rather than speed.”
Dario Fernandez, senior engineer NTCE-S, commented. “it has been a privilege to work on this project and see compete in ECOseries our finished prototype all feel real passion for what we do and to work on such projects gives us the creative freedom to be as innovative and advanced as we can. “
” the improved battery life is important for the introduction of electric vehicles, so this project has been a great opportunity to use . our knowledge of the zero-emissions technology to see how it could increase the battery life in this particular application “
Gareth Dunsmore, director of Electric Vehicle Nissan Europe, said:” As a pioneer in the electric vehicle market, Nissan has constantly innovated and boosted its technology to stay ahead of the zero-emission sector. Although there are no plans to produce this prototype, it serves as useful to think outside experience, our engineers and designers every month. The Nissan LEAF 48 kWh demonstrates the passion of our employees for their work. “
These extracurricular projects feed vision Intelligent Mobility Nissan and allow our employees to use their experience and skills to experiment with technology , design and engineering. the framework of the smart Mobility is a preview of future products and Nissan technologies, with the aim of developing a network of smart, connected, sustainable and zero emission transport.
in 2010 Nissan introduced Nissan LEAF, the first 100% electric vehicle for the mass market. Since then, the automaker has continued designing and producing innovative solutions zero emissions, including light-electric commercial vehicle e-NV200 and LEAF greater autonomy with a battery of 30 kWh.
