The latest technology from Nissan is about to be implemented on the cars. Soon, the Nissan cars are equipped with ‘Eco Pedal’ system that will push back whenever the driver speed. It can be used on cars and motorcycles.

According to Nissan, this ‘Eco Pedal’ system can help to improve fuel efficiency by 5-10%.

It calculates the most efficient rate of acceleration in a vehicle based on how fast fuel is being burned and other factors, and causes the gas pedal to push back to alert overzealous drivers. A special meter on the dashboard flashes and changes colors to help drive the message home.

Part of Nissan strategy is to reduce the carbon footprint and help to improve the fuel efficiency.

However, the system comes with an option to switch on or off anytime they want.
