The truck's electric motor draws energy from Nissan Super Power Capacitors for energy storage and regeneration.
According to Nissan Diesel, trucks equipped with the electro-chemical double layer capacitor will be 50% more fuel-efficient than conventional diesel-powered trucks. Nissan said its capacitor should last over 965,000 miles over a ten-year period without replacement.
Nissan noted that capacitor vehicle technology is particularly well suited for city driving conditions, where the constant acceleration and deceleration of stop-and-go operational patterns recharge the electrical system.
