Hey guys!

I'm glad to be back. I know I've been gone awhile but I had to sort some things out.

This month I'm gonna be bombarding you with pics and info and hope I don't double post some things. I'm working on an intro to the Armada for you SUV enthusiasts. We've got a load of them on the lot and we've already customed one with new wheels. It's my favorite colors too....Black and Chrome.

Right now I was checking on some info for a customer who wanted to know about a Nissan hybrid engine. If you guys and gals didn't know or if you didn't read this article...here ya go. It was published in Dec. by EV World.

"Gore, Nissan Team Diesel-Capacitor Hybrid

Source: PR Newswire [Dec 11, 2002]

Nissan Diesel’s new Diesel Hybrid Truck achieves low pollution levels and high-energy efficiency with high-power capacitor technology developed with W.L. Gore Associates, Inc. According to a Gore release, the Nissan Super Power Capacitor -- featuring Gore ‘‘Excellerator’’ electrode assemblies – provides increased energy density and power delivery in a package that is one-third the weight of conventional lead-acid batteries, further cutting weight by eliminating the need for a secondary storage battery. The diesel hybrid-electric propulsion system, using the Super Power Capacitor, boasts a 50 percent greater fuel-efficiency than a conventional diesel truck, and also a greatly increased component life for the electrical storage system, up to 600,000 kilometers over a 10-year period without replacement. Increased energy density was achieved through advanced energy capacitor storage technology developed at Okamura labs. -"

Oh and FYI,

The Xterra will mostly like be the first Nissan to undergo the fuel cell make over.

Sorry, Nathan.

If you sent it to my aol...I had to close that account. Hackers don't like me is all I can say. You guys can send me mail at [email protected] or my business email.

Interesting Info, thanks Jayson.

Here's some more I found:

Technical exhibit •The capacitor changes hybrid vehicles. Hybrid TechnologyConcerning for the environment and fuel efficiency that sharply reduces CO2 emissions are becoming more important than ever. The key to finding solutions is highly efficient hybrid technology. To make hybrid systems more efficient, it is necessary to improve the efficiency of each element such as the engine. One of the more important key element is the performance of the condenser that has a multiplier effect on the entire system. Based on the development of a capacitor condenser, ideal for commercial vehicles, Nissan Diesel is moving ahead with the development of advanced hybrid technology.

•The combination of clean technology. Diesel emissions-reduction technologyDiesel engines have a high heat efficiency that make them fuel efficient, helping to prevent global warming and contributing to energy conservation efforts. In order to make further reductions in NOx emissions in emission gas and the particle matter in black smoke, Nissan Diesel is actively incorporating new technologies that further reduce emission gases. Results of the efforts include Japan's only unit injector, and also cooled ENG, and a diesel particulate filter(DPF). Nissan Diesel is in pursuit of cleanliness; from the time fuel enters the vehicle until when it leaves. -Leading the way in the age of new energy-•Capacitor Hybrid Truck(Reference exhibit)This model consists of the Parallel Hybrid System on a CNG(compressed natural gas) truck. With a clean and quiet CNG engine and an efficient motor operated by a capacitor-type condenser that recovers the maximum brake energy for operation power, superior fuel efficiency and environment friendliness is achieved.Another advantage is the electronic transmission that makes driving all the easier.

-Nissan Diesel provides a new means of transportation in our cities-•Capacitor Hybrid Non-Step Bus(Reference exhibit)Nissan Diesel is conducting research to make city route busses in the 21st century ever more efficient, environmentally friendly, and barrier free. Using clean and efficient CNG(compressed natural gas) engine power generation, a series hybrid system accumulates energy in the capacitor to provide power to the motor. The brake energy is also collected efficiently to enhance fuel efficiency and environment friendliness. Research and development continues to improve efficiency and reduce pollution as a result of being entrusted to develop new energies and industries.
