Nissan has announced that the new Nissan Leaf will come with e-Pedal, a technology that will allow drivers to accelerate, decelerate and stop using just one pedal.
With the flip of a switch, the technology will turn accelerator into an e-Pedal, allowing drivers to accelerate, decelerate and stop using just the e-Pedal. The e-Pedal technology will be world's first one-pedal operation that will allow drivers to bring the car to a complete stop even on hills, stay in position, and resume driving instantly.
As per Nissan, drivers will be able to cover 90 percent of their driving needs with the e-Pedal, making the process of driving more convenient. In heavy traffic and during city commutes, drivers will greatly reduce the need to shift from one pedal to the other, making driving simpler.
The e-Pedal technology is another innovation aimed for making advanced driver assistance technologies part of the mainstream. Set to make driving safer and more enjoyable, the development of these technologies is part of the company’s Intelligent Mobility, and serves as a blueprint for transforming how cars are driven, powered and integrated into society.
Nissan has sold around 277,000 Leaf vehicles globally.
