Nissan Pivo Concept

EVO Rating:
Green Attributes:  Electric
User Rating:


Review :: Pivo is powered by a Nissan-developed high-performance Compact Lithium-Ion Battery and Nissan's unique Super Motor. The result is zero emissions. Beyond this outstanding environmental performance, the electric powertrain enables a highly compact body. Designers made the most of Nissan's Compact Lithium-Ion Battery – which, being flat, requires much less space than conventional cylindrical cells and achieves remarkable packaging efficiency. Even more space and weight savings are achieved with Nissan's Super Motor. One Super Motor on each axle delivers power to two shafts, each of which can be controlled independently. This allows efficient distribution of torque to all four wheels with two (not four) electric motors.

About Nissan

What is the Nissan Green Program?

Nissan regards the following three issues as paramount: reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions; minimizing emissions to preserve the atmosphere, water and soil; and the recycling of resources (reduce/reuse/recycle). The Nissan Green Program is a mid-term environmental action plan with focused objectives and activities meant to tackle these three key issues. We achieved virtually all of the objectives we set for the previous plan, Nissan Green Program 2005. The Nissan Green Program 2010 sets new objectives and plans between now and 2010.

Our goal is to reduce CO2 emissions in all areas of Nissan's corporate endeavors. Our ultimate goal is to reduce the environmental impacts caused by corporate activities such as manufacturing and usage of Nissan vehicles to stay within the Earth's natural ability to absorb such impacts.
