Pininfarina debuts Nido EV Electric Car lying on Firm's 80th Anniversary

To mark the celebrations of its 80th anniversary, Pininfarina reveals the Nido EV, the first running prototype of the “Nido Development Programme”, the project for an electric car conceived, designed and built completely by the Pininfarina Style and Engineering Centre of Cambiano (Turin).

The Nido EV, a small city car (slightly larger than a Smart), has 2 seats and enduring magneto rear engine.

The prototype is also equipped with “green” tyres, developed by Pirelli paying particular consideration to safety, environmental sustainability and saving.

The Nido EV is a veritable laboratory designed both to investigate the electrification of a small city car and to develop a modular floorpan. The body structure of this initial prototype is a tubular steel frame, while the final version will have an aluminium space frame. The structure was designed to adapt to four different, totally electric or hybrid vehicles: 2-seater, 2+2, pickup and light van.
