Nissan touting green innovations at Industry Expo

Nissan Motor Thailand is showcasing innovative automotive solutions including Nissan e-Power and the Nissan Leaf EV (Electric Vehicle) at the ongoing Thailand Industry Expo.
The stars of the Nissan booth are the Nissan Leaf, the world’s best-selling electric vehicle, and Nissan’s e-Power technology, while models like the Note VL Dress Up and Almera 1.2 V Sportech are also on display.
The event, organised by the Ministry of Industry, is continuing through Sunday (July 30) in Challenger Hall 2, Muang Thong Thani.
Nissan’s participation in the expo underscores its commitment to bringing the latest technologies to the Thai market. 
“Nissan is a technology leader, and we will be showcasing two of our landmark Intelligent Mobility solutions,” said Antoine Barthes, president of Nissan Motor (Thailand).
As concerns about air quality and the environment grow, solutions like e-Power, and EVs like the Leaf, are essential to a smart, clean and sustainable driving future, without compromising affordability or driving pleasure, Barthes said.
“We are continuously evolving our Electrification strategy and portfolio, with the goal of making this accessible, attractive and convenient for all driving needs. Nissan remains committed to advancing the entire ecosystem through continuing to work with governments and organisations to innovate forward looking thinking.” 
In 2010 Nissan brought the world’s best-selling EV, the Leaf, to the market. The vehicle is not just a zero-emission car but also an EV with unprecedented quietness, acceleration and handling.
While e-Power borrows from the EV technology perfected in the Leaf, it adds a small petrol engine to charge the high-output battery when necessary, eliminating the need for an external charger while offering the same high-output.
This means that the wheels are completely driven by the electric motor. The power from a high-output battery is delivered to the e-Power’s compact powertrain, comprised of a gasoline engine, power generator, inverter and motor.
“At Nissan, we believe that the driving experience is defined by more than just the car,” Barthes said. “Nissan is committed to advancing the entire EV ecosystem beyond our vehicles, and we will continue to introduce innovative new products into various areas and promote the worldwide use of EVs.”
