Features of Equipment, Systems and Facilities @
  • Merits for Environment
    Zero emission during electrically powered running. Owing to high efficiency design, CO2 emission for power generation is about 1/4 of that in a gasoline-powered compact car.

  • Merits for Users
    Owing to small size and electrical power drive, the fuel cost is as low as \ 1/km. With 2.66-m body length, shortest in the subcompact category, the vehicle can enjoy small turning radius in the street.

  • High Energy Efficiency with Light Body, Small and Efficient Power Unit
    • Space frame construction based on extruded aluminum provides a subminiature sized, light weighted and high rigidity body.
    • Optimized unit layout, with a motor in the rear and batteries under floor in the mid-position, allows to implement subminiature size, safety and stable control.
    • Battery weight reduced by use of high energy density unit (manganese-based lithium ion cells).
    • High efficiency neodymium synchronous motor.
    • Run-flat tire allows to run for a certain distance after puncture, to improve space efficiency and reduce weight by removing a spare tire.
  • Recycling Parts
    A recycle process for 4 items of part, including bumper, implemented by reuse after removing plastic components.
