Nissan started the
monitoring survey of its super small vehicle in alliance with Tokyu Corp. that
is one of Japan’s leading
private railway companies, Yokohama
city, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT). Nissan
lends its super small vehicle named “Nissan New Mobility Concept” to seven families
with small children living along the Tokyu Line to know the user-friendliness
for further study toward commercial viability. This survey is organized by the
MLIT, and it lasts for two weeks until March 4.
The Nissan’s super
small vehicle is an electric vehicle loaded with a lithium-ion battery. It can
travel 100 km per charge. It is 2,340 mm long, 1,230 mm wide, and 1,450 mm
high. It has two seats, one each of front and rear. The maximum speed is 80
km/h. The seven families will use this electric vehicle in their daily life.
The survey team will examine the convenience and influence over the lifestyle
of the super small vehicle. The MLIT will dispatch the survey results to local
governments nationwide to support their approach to the introduction of super
small vehicles. It built a mechanism to allow super small vehicle to travel on
the public road in January this year. It is reportedly working on the system that
allows automakers to market super small vehicles toward 2015.
