TIME

As part of Nissan's plans to create cleaner and more sustainable vehicles, the Japanese car manufacturer has been trialing 'cool paint' technology in the hopes of lowering internal car temperatures and reducing energy usage.

00:00We confirmed this effectiveness by testing at our research center.

00:29We did this field test during Japanese hot summer circumstances and this is impressive.

00:37We confirmed that 12 degree Celsius reduction in exterior and temperatures up to the 5 degree

00:47cooler in interior.

00:59So one of the major differences between the built environment and the automobile industry

01:05is that in the built environment we use way thicker sort of paintings that are as reflective

01:13and we don't need to spray them over the roof, we usually just use rolls and apply them to

01:19large scales.

01:33Because of the automobile restrictions in its industry, they had to develop a painting

01:39that they can actually spray over the cars and would be also way thinner than the ones

01:44that we commonly use in the built environment, so that was one of the challenges that they

01:47faced and that they overcome to be able to offer that to their consumers.

02:03I see strong potential, particularly to the light commercial vehicle applications such

02:10as vans, trucks, ambulances, and spend most of the day out driving.

02:20We share more news will occur in the future as we progress.
