Nissan Hypermini

Nissan Hypermini

In February Nissan launched the Hypermini, and it initially went on sale in the metropolitan areas around Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. The Hypermini is a two-seater electric vehicle that can travel 100 miles on 1 charge, with a top speed of over 60 mph. Nissan is currently testing the superminis in a Tokyo suburb, with commuters, tourists and a vehicle rental company all being invited to take part. The vehicle features an in-car navigation and automatic location system which is handled by an operations control centre. In the event of becoming lost, or vehicle running low on power, the driver can contact the control centre for assistance by pushing a single button on the dashboard.
