TOKYO: Nissan is now talking about coming up with a fancy refuelling station.
It has hooked up with architectural firm Foster + Partners which will help the car maker conceptualise the so-called "Fuel Station of the Future."
It is a way for both companies to challenge conventions and offer a different view of how fuelling stations will adapt in a rapidly changing world.
Nissan said the refuelling infrastructure of the future represents a chance to integrate and engage with local environments in an innovative way – potentially providing an energy and societal hub for modern communities.
The need for a sustainable and innovative refuelling network is becoming vital as the market shifts towards alternative sources like electric power.
The concept will be anchored at the heart of a world that is concerned with a zero-emissions society, connected communities, autonomous drive and the Internet of things. It will demonstrate the host of benefits brought by a smart EV ecosystem - not just in terms of mobility, but in harnessing the potential of battery storage and vehicle-to-grid systems.
Nissan will work with Foster + Partners over the coming months to present its idea of the Fuel Station of the Future later this year.
