All About Design

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.

Pivo, which will be on display at this year’s Tokyo Motor Show, features an innovative cabin that revolves 360 degrees, eliminating the need to reverse. Thanks to its compact body, the car is also exceptionally easy to maneuver.

Pivo is powered by Nissan’s compact, high-performance lithium-ion battery and its unique Super Motor, resulting in zero emissions.

The gallery space for the Pivo event, which was designed by Murakami, features a futuristic vegetable garden installation, as well as large balloons and illustrations of ‘Pivo-chan,’ a character he designed based on the concept car’s inspiring image.
