Nissan has its own eco-driving service and this is made available in its Nissan CARWINGS. Recently, the Japanese automaker’s eco-driving service has been given recognition by the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy (ANRE). The award given was the Director-General ‘s award during the 18th annual Energy Conservation Prize. The award had been presented to Nissan CARWINGS in the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Energy Conservation Center in Japan. The purpose of the award is to identify and reward innovative ideas that aim to accelerate an expanded commercial applications of new energy conservation technologies. The ultimate objective is to be able to attain a more energy-efficient society through the adoption of new ideas about energy and environmental conservation, and decreased emissions. This award is open to the public and it includes a lot of energy conservation technologies and innovations. These can be the use of new energy, resource-saving, or high energy-efficient materials, systems and equipment that are for non-military use. The Nissan CARWINGS received this award due to its contribution to make better the road traffic congestion and driver behavior and also provide for sustainable results in fuel consumption. Some of the systems that aim to achieve these things are the Fastest Route Guidance System and the Eco-Driving Advice. The Fastest Route Guidance System helps in calculating the fastest traffic route to a given destination. It bases its calculation according to the real-time traffic information together with the statistical and historical database and it calculates it through the proprietary software of Nissan which would project the expected traffic conditions. With this, car owners can expect higher fuel efficiency because the commuting time is decreased and the average speed is increased. On the other hand, the Eco-Driving Advice is a service which allows members who published their vehicles’ fuel consumption patterns on the CARWINGS website to compare their eco-driving performance against other members. Of course, for this to have accurate comparison, the vehicles compared are of the same vehicle model. It also provides CARWINGS members with fuel efficiency rankings and weekly tips to make their eco-driving skills better. It also offers sustainable approach in changing driving behavior in order to help minimize the negative impact on the environment. -autopartswarehouse-
