skin stretched over a structure, thus emphasising the shape of the structure itself. The front of the vehicle is characterised by horizontal lines that refer to the motion of the sled shell, while the rear is more raked to confer a dynamic quality and features a low waistline, a very wide windscreen and a transparent roof to ensure excellent visibility. The front moulding is completely covered with a cushion of energy absorbing material to present safer surfaces in the event of collision with a pedestrian, and thus minimise injury. The headlights are mounted high to increase the deformable area presented during collision with a pedestrian.

powered by a Li-ion battery rated at 22 kWh giving it a range of 140 km, an electronically limited top speed of 120 km/h and a 0 – 60 km/h time of 4.4 seconds. Retaining the external appearance of the original Nido, the prototype Nido EV uses a modular tubular steel frame that allows different body versions (2 seater, 2+1 seater, ‘pick up’ and light van) and different mechanical layouts to be implemented, including hybrid versions.

The Nido EV was designed and built entirely by the
Pininfarina Design and Engineering Centre of Cambiano (Turin) to explore the concept of a small electric car for urban use. The Nido EV is a two-seater small city car (900 kg, 2.95 m long 1.5 m high) with a rear-mounted 60 kW electric motor
208:
This small two-seater city car has been strongly oriented towards safety for both the occupants and pedestrians in the event of a collision, by means of structural solutions, the distribution of the spaces and the management of the shape of the car itself. The concept was conceived through an intense

The essential body styling of the prototype reflects the concept and highlights the project’s consistency of shape and structure. The shape and finishings contribute to emphasise the elements correlated to safety and confers a friendly and reassuring character to the car. The surfaces appear as a

The existing Nido EV design is being further developed by using a
Multifunctional-Rolling-Chassis (MRC) enabled by a new generation of highly hybridized structural components and complemented by a non-structural upper-body. Advanced polymer based materials and aluminium alloys and foams are being

To show the potential of new materials for reducing the weight of electric and hybrid vehicles and hence increasing their range the existing Nido EV was selected as a demonstrator test bed for the EVolution project. Evolution is a four-year collaborative project between 24 European organisations

used to create novel super-lightweight hybrid components complying with safety standards and recycling constraints. The EVolution goal is to demonstrate the sustainable production of a 600 kg weight Nido EV by the end of 2015.
