Nissan Pivo 2 Concept
At the Tokyo Motor Show Nissan is unveiling the Pivo 2 Concept, which evolves the idea of its predecessor and showcases rotating cabin and wheels, in-wheel electric motors and an interactive robotic interface.
Pivo 2 builds on the popularity of the first Pivo, shown at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show.
It is powered by advanced Compact Lithium-ion Batteries and features a unique rotating cabin – meaning no reverse gear is required. ‘By-wire’ technologies are emplyed for braking and steering.
It also showcases innovative 90 degree turning wheels, which integrate electric motors and allow Pivo 2 to drive sideways.
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.

Compared to the first Pivo, which debuted the fully rotating cabin design, the Pivo 2 takes that easy mobility concept to a new level.

Each of the four wheels are powered by an electric In-wheel 3D Motor and can turn through 90 degrees to allow Pivo 2 to drive sideways as well as forward.

The Robotic Agent makes conversations possible in Japanese and English and provides a unique interface to communicate with on everything: from basic vehicle functions through to the nearest available parking.
Pivo 2 will then be exhibited at the Tokyo Motor Show, starting October 27.
