Nissan "Nuvu" electric & "Pixo" urban car
All the stars of the show share the same philosophy, that of addressing the reality of mobility in and out of cities today, tomorrow and in the future.
Nuvu
The vision of Nissan concerning the future of the urban transport is summarized in Nuvu, literally a “new sight” of the type of car which we will drive in the middle of the next decade. Compact - with only 3 meters long - Nuvu is a concept car with a single allocation of seats 2 1. It is designed for urbanites that do not want any compromise on their personal freedom or their comfort, but admit, however, need a dramatic change in our way we move through our cities.
Nuvu is an electric vehicle, agile, easy to drive and even easier to park. Nissan has already announced its intention to market electric car from 2010 in Japan and the United States and the rest of the world in 2012.
The vehicle presented to the Auto show of Paris integrates a representation of its potential "green" roof on its glass are arranged a dozen small solar panels. Shaped leaves on a branch, the power they produce feeds the battery via a "tree" that goes in the car as a conduit. Nuvu also used in the passenger many natural materials, organic and recycled.
Nuvu is compact on the outside while being spacious on the inside. Built on a new platform, it is only 3 meters long and a wheelbase of 1 980mm, its width of 1 700mm and height 1 550 mm to provide a clear and airy cabin.
These dimensions offer all interior space necessary to the large majority of urban travel. Nuvu has two conventional seats and a third who occasionally folds when not in use. But, unlike some two-seater urban currently marketed, Nuvu offers a more practical solution with a real trunk; sufficient for shopping at the supermarket or to make shopping.
"Nuvu is a concept car, obviously, but it remains entirely credible," said François Bancon, General Manager, Exploratory and Advanced Planning Department, Product Strategy and Product Planning Division of Nissan Motor Co. , Ltd.
"It is light, clean and easy to drive. It is convenient, has a reasonable size and also embodies some playful fun: the future is not so bad after all. "
