Global perspectives, focusing on Europe

Suzuki Swift was the first product of Suzuki program in radical innovation to strengthen its position both as the first compact car maker and motorcycle brands in the foreground. It introduces new ideas and thoughts that will define the design of many other new models from Suzuki in the coming years.

Suzuki Swift is a global vision and production - is built in Japan, Hungary, China and India - but its development has focused on the strict requirements and preferences of the European market in terms of design and driving characteristics. In fact, the first step of the design team was to create a base in Europe, where he was able to obtain valuable information on the European way of thinking and inspiration for the environment. And a lot of chassis development and improvement based on real-world information acquired by the wide road and track testing across the continent.

The result is an innovative design, sporty and elegant, with true international appeal. As a new departure in Suzuki design, develop themes Swift style first seen in the Concept S and Concept-car exhibition S2, and shows the willingness of the company to develop original interpretations of well-established market segments .

Designers deliberately avoided the tendency to "a box of conformity, but to produce content through the design of the hood. Muscular, flared wheel arches, bold sills and wheels pushed out to every corner, and the panel with broad shoulders, which will always express their car's rear lights and the inherent stability of dynamic change.

The strong curvature of the nose and the openings of the large square cut, and deep spoiler with grille to add further distinction. The black and AB-pillars create a greenhouse effect and the wraparound headlights sweep back home in the wings to mirror the shape of the taillight.

The particular shape of the tailgate combines a large rear bumper to give the solid appearance of the bottom of the body. At the top of the tailgate, the rear edge of the roof is shaped spoiler to improve aerodynamics and save 1 kg more value than usual bolt-on item.

These qualities are provided by one of the biggest titles in its class - 1,470 mm front and 1480 mm rear - combined with a wheelbase of 2,390 mm.

The platform, created recently for Suzuki Swift, has a front subframe mount which are management, suspension arms and lower motor connected to the rear. The structure is rigid generates less road noise and a strong sense of stability.

MacPherson strut front suspension matched by a torsion beam and springs in the rear. The low unsprung weight arrangement torsion beam allows effective control of camber angle and toe to deliver accurate and predictable handling, any development of space-efficient plays a crucial role in achieving a low, flat boot floor.

To complete the driving experience, Suzuki Swift, the benefits of a steering rack that gives direct and precise meaning and a braking system with rigid forceps, especially to improve braking performance.

Despite the Suzuki Swift 1690 mm wide, it is still very manageable statements about the city. Turning radius is a compact 9.4 million.

Nissan sheet will be priced at £ 28,350. However, customers will pay the price of the expensive battery and other important components that wear is not revealed. Therefore, there are huge uncertainties surrounding the costs of ownership.

Nissan says its new electric car costs more or less comparable cars equipped with a diesel is questionable. Volkswagen Golf 1.6 is a range of 760 km and will cost about € 17000. Kia Cee'd 1.6 CRDi costs £ 12 000 and is also a 7-year warranty. Honda Insight, a range of 565 miles for £ 16000. And BMW is progressing as planned roll city car to electricity by 2013.

Honda says it plans to sell electric cars in the U.S., but his priority is to improve the energy efficiency of new models. Nissan Leaf made his European debut in Portugal and Holland, followed by Great Britain and Ireland. It has a range of 160 km on a fully charged battery. However, the use of air for long periods to reduce its scope. BMW is also developing a technology at the front, which forms the basis of the Mini.

Carmakers, forecasting that electric cars represent 10% of the global automotive market in 2020. It is estimated that there will be 70,000 electric cars on British roads in 2020. But uncertainty about the battery life, limited range and long recharge time means that electric cars are likely to remain a niche product in the near future.

2012 Nissan mivo launch Electric Car in Japan

Nissan plans to develop subcompact cars electric powered by lithium-ion self-developed. This Nissan became the first Japanese automaker to announce their intention to develop and sell mass-market all-electric vehicles worldwide. This would put them in direct competition with domestic rivals Honda and Toyota both of which are already selling hybrid cars in Japan and the USA.




Carlos Ghosn, CEO of Nissan, recently said in a statement that Nissan plans to launch electric car in Japan and the U.S. market for the year 2010. Nissan aims to offer its electric cars globally by 2012, in its long-term plan.

In this world of rising gas prices and pollution Nissan electric cars would also be able to meet more stringent fuel economy standards in the developed countries of this initiative.


Tokyo, Japan — One of the many concept cars being readied for the Tokyo Motor Show in Japan is this iPod-inspired vehicle. With a design that's best described as odd and/or bulbous, it features accelerator and brake pedals embossed withaudio player symbols: fast-forward and stop. According to Nissan, the Pivo 2 is an advanced electric concept car that builds on the popularity of the first Pivo, which was shown at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show. Power comes from environmentally friendly compact lithium-ion batteries. More of an entertaining way of transport than a traditional car, it even features a "highly innovative Robotic Agent". Drivers will never be lonely again, as the robotic companion can converse in both Japanese and English dialects, and was created to make journeys less stressful. The robotic agent is also instrumental in operating the cars functions, from heating and cooling to navigation. The entire front end of the car opens up via a large door to allow the driver and his two passengers access, and because it features a rotating cabin (the entire cabin can swivel 360 degrees) there is no need for a reverse gear. The vehicle is made even more nimble thanks to four wheels. Each of the four wheels are powered by advanced electric in-wheel '3D Motors', which can then swivel 90 degrees allowing the Pivo 2 to drive sideways as well as forward.
