Easy does it technology with ECO pedal saves car fuel by increasing driving efficiency

As you know, smarter greener driving saves money. But how about an ingenious piece of new technology from Nissan that could help you reduce CO2 emissions by becoming upto 10% (Nissan's claim) more efficient on the road? Welcome to the Nissan Eco pedal due to become commercialised by 2009.

Technology and improved driving behaviour combine to produce greater fuel-efficiency. The ECO pedal system helps counter excessive pressure on the accelerator by the application of a control mechanism which when activated informs the driver by way of an indicator on the dashboard that an easing of the foot would improve consumption.THe indicator will show a 'green' for driving within the optimal fuel consumption range. This changes to 'amber' when the driver's behaviour needs to change.

The ECO pedal system can be switched on or off. It is one of a number of products resulting from Nissan's Green Program 2010 to develop a range of eco-friendly technologies,products and services designed to make a real difference in the reduction of vehicle CO2 reductions.
