Nissan NUVU concept (2008)
The Nissan Nuvu, for “new view,” is a moving oasis, a haven of green tranquility in the urban jungle. It has unique 2+1 seating and is designed for use in crowded cities. Nuvu incorporates a witty representation of its green credentials: Across its all-glass roof are a dozen or so small solar panels. Shaped like leaves on a branch, the power they generate is fed to the battery using a “tree trunk” within the car as a conduit.
