Paris Show: Nissan Townpod EV Concept May Hint at Future Cube
0 comments Posted by Unknown at 5:18 AM
Although Nissan didn't mention the Cube in its press release on the new Townpod EV concept, it's not hard to make the connection between the two cars. However, the quirky looking sub-compact study, which made its world premiere today at the Paris Motor Show, makes use of the same zero-emission technology found within Nissan LEAF in a tall van-like body with suicide-style rear doors and split trunk doors.
Inside, the concept model features a colorful but Spartan interior. All controls for ancillaries such as climate control and media playback are accessed through two centrally mounted digital screens.
The monitor in the upper section of the dash serves as an instrument panel, displaying car speed, battery status and remaining range, while the lower touchscreen provides all controls for the audio and navigation system and also allows users to perform system checks on the whole car.
The Townpod also features what Nissan calls Pucks, which are rubber balls, roughly the size of a squash ball with a wide groove into them. The so-called 'Pucks' can accommodate drink holders, cell-phone rests, hand-bag hooks or other items and scattered around the interior.

It's too early to say the price of the vehicle, but certainly there will be no surprises. We know (the price) will be the key to mass-market cars
Moreover Ghosn still feel confident of this environment-friendly products will be accepted in addition to the world community as environmentally friendly, because it has an electric engine, Nissan claims this car can run up to 100 miles with a lower cost.
Leaf itself according to Ghosn's will have advantages in terms of endurance batteries, far exceeding its competitors. Moreover, the battery developed by NEC Corp., according to Nissan will be used to walk with electric charge on the 220-volt power.
And to further convince consumers of these green cars, Nissan also was also not reluctant to cooperate with the Houston Reliant to develop an electric charging infrastructure in homes and offices before the close of this electric car sold in the United States, Japan and Europe in the late 2010.
