2005 Nissan Pivo

This unique prototype explores the potential of future electrically powered urban runabouts. The characterful egg-shaped cabin seats three, and can rotate through 360 degrees, making a reverse gear unnecessary - you merely swivel the cabin 180degrees to face forward. This unique feature has been achieved using cross-by-wire technology, eliminating the need for mechanical connections. See-through pillars and an Around View Monitor helps to reduce dangerous blind spots. A space-saving, flat, compact lithium-ion battery powers two electric 'Super Motors' mounted on both axles. Each motor drives an independent shaft, creating a four-wheel drive system that distributes torque across all four wheels.
