World’s first Eco Pedal assists drivers to improve fuel efficiency by 5-10%

August 05th, 2008 | Category: Tech Talk


Nissan today unveiled the ECO Pedal – a world first technology – designed to assist drivers to become more fuel-efficient. When the eco-pedal system is on, each duration the driver steps on the accelarator, a counter push-back control mechanism is activated whether the system detects excess pressure, helping to inform the

driver that they could be using more fuel than needed. An eco-driving indicator integrated into the instrument panel feeds the driver with real-time fuel consumption levels to help improve his/her driving behavior. The ECO Pedal system can be turned on or off according to the driver’s preference.
