(from Nissan Press
Release) Nissan iV
In 2010, the innovative Nissan LEAF is introduced as the first
mass-market electric vehicle (EV), planting seeds for Nissan’s
vision of a zero-emissions future. Fast-forward to 2035: EVs and the
green energy infrastructures that power them have matured into a
fully sustainable system, bringing this dream to life.
A NATURAL PERFORMER
Infused with Nissan’s
heritage of sports and performance, Nissan iV is a high-performance
EV inspired by nature’s intelligent beauty and crafted by human
ingenuity. The iV is a super-lightweight sports tourer that
showcases “organic synthetics,” a revolutionary manufacturing
technique in which automotive parts are cultivated like agriculture
in a 100% sustainable, carbon-neutral process.
ALL GROWN UP
Less is more. Every
detail of the Nissan iV is engineered toward renewable, lightweight
strength and maximum efficiency. Featuring an interwoven organic
frame, iV’s chassis material is synthetically grown and formed into
a stunning, aerodynamic shape. Derived from fast-growing ivy and
re-enforced with spider silk composite, the biopolymer frame is
flexible and ultra-light, yet extremely robust. The spacious,
panoramic cabin comfortably seats four adults and is constructed
from an innovative photovoltaic material that weighs 99% less than
traditional glass. While the canopy collects solar energy, it also
provides protective safety and unique, open-air views of the
outdoors. Underneath it all, a slim bio-battery provides stability
and a near limit-less range made possible by regenerative
super-capacitor technology that recoups 60% of kinetic energy spent.
WHEEL ‘N’ DEAL
Nissan’s patented
concentric hub-less in-wheel motors not only propel iV, they do
triple-duty by functioning as the vehicle’s steering as well as its
suspension system, via magnetic levitation and propulsion.
Concentric magnetic rings amplify rotation with each outer ring to
boost high-speed performance and provide independent wheel control
for ultimate handling and maneuverability. Inspired by schools of
fish and their fluid movement, Nissan’s pro-active Safety Shield™
renders collisions a thing of the past and reduces weight by
eliminating the need for heavy structures (bumpers, beams, airbags,
etc.).
ZERO-HERO
Through industry-leading
technology, Nissan iV maximizes the driving experience by
eliminating excess. Nissan fulfills a deep nostalgia for the joy of
driving with a strikingly beautiful EV that can deliver
electrifying, agile performance with zero-guilt.
Our mantra: Innovation For All.
