Nissan, which has made the Leaf electric car its flagman, has launched a promotional web site about environmental awareness. 

This is a project of the Nissan Japan corporate headquarters oriented on a younger audience—high school and college-age kids. The site features a game called ‘The Planet Zero.’ The game allows players to control a fun electric plug that walks on a virtual Earth, interacting with different icons for things like wind energy, solar power, and other elements. By clicking on different elements embedded on the planet, players are taken to different levels of game play.

The game is aimed to offer kids a vision of a neo-futuristic, zero-emission world. The game it’s still being developed. Now it has four stages of play, with more to come. The creation of Dwarf Inc., Enjin Inc., Masayuki Kido and Roxik, also offers a ‘Flip Book Studio’ where gamers can follow a green-themed narrative.

According to The Media Post, in the USA Nissan has launched new smartphone applications for the Leaf car that allow owners to check vehicle status and control elements of the vehicle remotely. The application first launched on iPhone when the car went on sale last December now are available for Android and BlackBerry. The app allows owners to check charge status and start the charging process, pre-cool or heat the vehicle, and monitor vehicle status.

Nissan said that it has sold 10,100 Leafs worldwide. Through last month, the company posted sales of about 931 of the electric cars; it is still ahead of Chevrolet.
