Nissan will treat the 2007 Tokyo Show visitors at the end of October with the second generation Pivo concept, first shown at the 2005 Tokyo Show. Like the original concept, the Pivo 2 is powered by compact lithium-ion batteries and it features fully rotating cabin design (360 degree turning) – meaning no reverse gear required.
