Honda, in cooperation with Saitama Prefecture, Kumamoto Prefecture, electric vehicle (EV) and plug-in hybrids, electric motorcycles, electric cart, and start a trial later in the year 2010 Syakai electric personal mobility for the next generation.This trial, in real urban traffic environment in collaboration with local governments, electric power products and technology of automobiles motorcycles, information and communication technologies, such as using solar energy supply equipment, Honda does if A comprehensive approach, we study and verify the following effects.EV or plug-in hybrids, electric motorcycles and electric carts, and motorized personal mobility technology for the future, through the use of sustainable energy such as solar effects, for future low-carbon society verification.Quality of life of persons living in the community (QOL ?) can contribute to improved “way of personal mobility in the future,” study the future of urban transportation systems.This time, such as factories Honda has a plant, and Saitama Prefecture and Kumamoto Prefecture are cooperating different than before, by working experiment in cooperation, respectively, to further the two regions and validation more effective We aim to contribute.The demonstration is followed by Japan, has deployed overseas are also planned around the automobile and the United States. In the U.S., “Advanced Technology Demonstration Program (Advanced Technology Demonstration program)” as, EV and plug-in hybrid demonstration experiments, Stanford University, Google, in cooperation with the city of Torrance, California, respectively, sequentially starting from the end of 2010.? QOL (Quality of Life Quality of Life): How many people sent a decent life, not only physically, the idea viewed as a measure of how I feel spiritual wealth and happiness.Experiments in Kumamoto PrefectureMobility of low-carbon society in the information communication technology and electrical technology, in an aging society and consumers to verify the effect of improving QOL. Earlier, Honda in Kumamoto Prefecture “framework agreement for future experiments in personal mobility” that will be concluded.Experimental vehicles and plug-in hybrid EV, electric motorcycles “EV-neo” for validating the effectiveness of low-carbon mobility in the prefecture.Electric cart, “Pal Mont ML200″ monitoring the location and travel information, consumers in an aging society QOL, to validate the contribution of particular improve the quality of life and healthInstalling charging stations for utilizing solar cells made of Honda Soltec, verifying the effectiveness of the system to achieve low-carbon energy supply from the stageExperiments in Saitama PrefectureThe technology and information communication technology electric validation for realizing effective low-carbon future mobility society. This Saitama Prefecture in March, 2009 Honda has signed the “Agreement on Cooperation in the environmental field,” according to implementation.EV or plug-in hybrid vehicle experiments, electric motorcycles “EV-neo” for validating the effectiveness of low-carbon mobility in the prefecture.”EV-neo”, using high-efficiency and energy use, improve the efficiency of verification on the effectiveness of business applicationsHas been deployed for four-wheel drive Honda’s original two-way information network service “Internavi Premium Club” to take advantage of, EV support information and information on eco-driving charge, and plug-in hybrid



Nissan Motor Co. (NYSE: CEO, Nishi-ku Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture: Carlos Ghosn) Ltd and JM (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku Tokyo, President: Ootake Hirotaka) October 20, electric vehicle scheduled for December 2010 (EV ) “Leaf” Nissan for sale in the domestic market, Nissan dealers nationwide in September (except for some stores selling the company) was announced to cooperate in the agency for the construction of detached houses set in the charger. This “leaf” Nissan buyers of the Nissan dealers in the “leaf” Nissan will receive a one-stop service from Canada to arrange for installation work charger.This time, Ltd. recommend contractors and JM Ntsusanzidousya agency, a network of partners covering the whole country with 1,000 or more electrical work by a centralized information database, nationwide safety, installation of high quality and affordable charger We work, “Leaf” Nissan delivered before completing construction. Work based on the standard construction specifications recommended Nissan (?) if carried out, the construction cost was 9.9 million (approx. ¥ 10.4 million) will be. Also, after the construction of the service, to take in an emergency such as year-round system respond within two hours, available services with confidence.The book starts from April 1 this year in Japan, “Nissan Leaf” is a target number of sales in fiscal 2010 after only two months the book has achieved 60 units reserved. The dealer will accept bookings over the counter will continue to work together with the established one-stop service for detached charger.Dedicated line runs from the power distribution to outlets outside ? (indoor wiring hidden, exposed wiring outside the distance from the wall outlet power distribution board 10m), set up a dedicated branch circuit breaker outside the breaker function with power distribution board, New outlet 200V/20A (outdoor / waterproof) is established, ensuring the capacity breakers according to the usage of electricity customers (master switch replacement), anti-shock when installing the switch 200V/20A hand.

Nissan Motor Co. (NYSE: CEO, Nishi-ku Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture: Carlos Ghosn) is equivalent to the output of the 1.5-liter, CO2 emissions 95g/km (measurement mode in Europe) the world’s highest fuel efficiency target of 1.2 liter gasoline “HR12DDR” to develop a new engine to market small cars in Europe “Micra (Japanese name: March)” to be installed in early 2011. This engine is equipped with three-cylinder 1.2-liter march “HR12DE” based on the engine of the Miller cycle, gasoline direct injection system (DIG), employs a highly efficient supercharger, that combined with an idling *, at a high level that combines dynamic performance and fuel economy.The main technical features are as follows.By delaying intake valve closing timing, by adopting the Miller cycle to increase the compression stroke and expansion stroke than the actual kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy to enable four-cycle engine fuel than normal and is negative in the intake manifold pumping losses can be reduced by a pressure resistance.Mixture of high-temperature compression and cooled by other more high latent heat of vaporization of the fuel injected directly into the cylinder, lowering the temperature in the combustion chamber and the use of sodium filled valves Pisutonkuringuchanneru, to suppress the abnormal combustion . These technologies, 13 compression ratio * High combustion efficiency has improved to achieve two.The supercharger * 3 is a clutch ON-OFF in areas such as low-speed operation in the city that combines dynamic performance Ito Takashi cut fuel consumption by supercharging.In addition to the hydrogen-free DLC coating piston rings, and uses a variable capacity oil pump, 4-cylinder engine of equal performance to the friction resistance (friction) by about 30% lower.Nissan’s midterm environmental action plan “Nissan Green Program 2010″ that continue to promote a truly effective technologies, products and services to develop, continue to market.* The idling to adopt this one, CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) feature an internal locking using transmission sub, 6% and may be restarting the engine without any drop in the cars on the slope of about . In addition, by measuring the precise position of the crankshaft when the engine is stopped, and also to shorten the time to restart the engine.* The ratio of cylinder volume at top dead center and bottom dead center piston 2. The higher efficiency ratio (= high), but overlook, are prone to abnormal combustion such as knocking. For gasoline, the compression ratio is usually about 10 in high-performance engines.* The pump is driven by the engine output shaft 3, feeding into the cylinder to compress the air to force the system to achieve the same effect of increasing the emissions.
