RARE UK PUBLIC APPEARANCE OF
THE 360º-ROTATING, FUTURISTIC,
NISSAN PIVO - THE ‘CAR WITH NO REVERSE’
The futuristic Nissan Pivo will
be on display in the new
exhibition The Science
of Survival at the
Science Museum from Saturday 24
May to Sunday 1 June 2008.
Nissan Pivo is
a concept car, powered by a
lithium-ion battery, which
generates no emissions compared
to normal road-going vehicles.
The car’s cabin rotates 360º,
removing the need for a reverse
gear and making parking simple.
Pivo’s design incorporates large
doors, windscreens and windows
and reduces driver blind spots
by displaying the exterior
surroundings on screens inside
the vehicle. This is a rare
opportunity for the UK public to
see the Pivo in action.
The Science of Survival
is a new, hands-on, family
exhibition, which uses the
latest environmental research to
challenge visitors to create
their own sustainable city of
2050. The exhibition highlights
possible ways of changing and
adapting how we live to ensure
that we will be able to survive
in 2050. The Science of Survival
runs at the Science Museum,
London until 2 November 2008,
before touring internationally.
Simon Sproule, Corporate Vice
President of Nissan said, “We
are proud that Pivo will be
taking its place alongside some
of the wonders of human
invention in the Science Museum.
Pivo is an imaginative
demonstration of the potential
for advanced zero-emission
vehicles that we believe
represent a major breakthrough
for clean personal mobility.”
The Science of Survival runs at
the Science Museum until 2
November 2008. |
