Nissan Pivo 2

Nissan Pivo 2: 360 Degrees, No Reverse!!!
Nissan presented an interesting concept at last year's Tokyo Motor Show - the Nissan Pivo 2.
Of course the Nissan Pivo 2 comes after the Nissan Pivo concept presented at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show.

The most important features of the Nissan Pivo 2 concept is -A robotic agent to share every trip (does anyone remember R2-D2?), a 360 degree turning cabin and 90 degrees turning wheels.

Nissan Pivo 2 builds on the popularity of the first Pivo, shown at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show.
Powered by advanced Compact Lithium-ion Batteries and featuring a unique rotating cabin – meaning no reverse gear required – the first Pivo became a cult hit at shows from Beijing to Geneva.

Reasons to love Pivo 2:
-Electric power from Nissan’s advanced Lithium-ion batteries.
-A robotic agent to share every trip.
-‘Revolutionary’ technology with 360 degree turning cabin and 90 degree turning wheels.

Nissan Pivo 2 takes the idea of an environmentally friendly electric urban commuter vehicle and delivers fun, functionality and a unique relationship between the car and driver.
Nissan Pivo 2 is powered by advanced Compact Lithium-ion Batteries and employs ‘by-wire’ technologies for braking and steering.

The Nissan Pivo 2 takes that easy mobility concept to a new level.
Each of the four wheels are powered by Nissan’s advanced electric In-wheel 3D Motor and can turn through 90 degrees to allow Nissan Pivo 2 to drive sideways as well as forward.

Thanks to the highly innovative Robotic Agent, you are never alone in the Nissan Pivo 2. With conversations possible in Japanese and English, the Robotic Agent has been created to work with Nissan Pivo 2 to make every journey less stressful. It provides a unique interface through which to communicate with Nissan Pivo 2 on everything from basic vehicle functions through to the nearest available parking.
