Last year, General Motors unveiled the Electric Networked-Vehicle (EN-V) concept, which was conceived by a number of design teams around the world. Now, in an effort to test the two-seater concept’s practicality, the company is planning to test it in demonstration programs worldwide. Also, the EN-V concepts will be sporting a Chevrolet badge, as it is now part of the brand.
“For 100 years, the Chevrolet brand has been focused on making advanced technology that improves customers’ lives accessible and affordable, and the Chevrolet EN-V will continue that tradition,” said Chris Perry, Chevrolet’s vice president for global and strategy, at an event celebrating the 100th anniversary of the company. “By 2030, more than 60 percent of the world’s 8 billion people will live in urban areas. The Chevrolet EN-V represents a possible solution for global customers living in markets where alternative transportation solutions are needed.”
The EN-V, which is powered by a lithium-ion battery, sports superior maneuverability and a small footprint. The vehicle can be charged from a normal wall outlet.
The vehicle’s ability to communicate with infrastructure and other vehicles will help reduce traffic congestion and crashes in the future.
