General Motors is working on a second generation of its EN-V concept and might test the electric vehicle in large cities around the world.
The EN-V (Electric Networked-Vehicle) is an ultra-compact and futuristic-looking two-seater model that addresses the basic needs for transportation in today’s mega-cities. General Motors said that all future concepts of the EN-V will carry a Chevrolet badge.
The vice-president of global Chevrolet marketing and strategy, Chris Perry said:
“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. 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 was first unveiled at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo. The next-gen Chevrolet EN-V will first hit the streets of Tianjin, China before making a splash in other urban locations around the globe.
