Japan has for many years be aware of environmental concerns and was one of the 1st countries to present new eco-friendly ways to move vehicles.
Therefore it is no surprise to see yet another world premiere in this category as the Japanese manufacturer Nissan proposes the first "clean" cars available for rent.
Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., yesterday delivered to Kanagawa Toshi Kotsu Ltd. the latest version X-TRAIL fuel-cell vehicle powered by hydrogen fuel cells to be used as part of their chauffer-driven hired-car fleet. This is the first time that a fuel-cell vehicle has been made available for hired-car services, providing consumers with the opportunity to experience the performance and benefits of advanced clean technology.
Fuel cell vehicle "X-TRAIL delivered as hired car specification this time FCV" 05 models are models by whom the company's in-house development fuel cell stack is installed, max power is improved up to 90kW greatly, and maximum speed and the acceleration performance are improved to the gasoline car level.
Nissan plans to turn on the technology and the commodity that the reduction in the amount of the CO2 exhaust is truly effective based on Nissan Motor green program 2010 announced last December, and advances further practical use about the fuel cell vehicle. As the part, the experience trial-ride fair of the fuel cell vehicle is held in the headquarters gallery for a general customer in April, '06, and a wide customer experiences the charm and the performance of the fuel cell vehicle for this company. It is thought that I would like the charm of the fuel cell vehicle for more customers to touch through this hired car.
The Yokohama city inhabitants can thank Nissan for taking care of their lungs and limitate the inevitable global warning.
