The relating to ity motor used in Nuvu is mounted at the build up of the vehicle and drives the away from the thicker settlements wheels, though neither its exact detailed statement nor the power and torque figures are sentient released at this stage.

The NuVu is compact—3 meters (9.8 feet) long— and offers 2+1 seating. It is built without interrupti a unique platform, and sits without interrupti a wheelbase of 1,900mm, except is 1,700mm wide and 1,550 mm lofty to create a large and vivacious cabin. The all-glass roof features a twelve or so small solar panels that give to the battery charge. Nuvu too uses natural, organic and recycled materials inside the cabin.

Driver controls are of the same kind with simple as possible. All the greater functions—steering, braking, transmission and throttle—are ‘through -Wire’ while the steering is controlled dint of an aircraft-style steering yoke: by just one turn from lock to f, the steering is very direct with a view to agility and maneuverability in the incorporated town. Nuvu’s turning circle is 3.7 meters. In that place are two pedals—for stop and go—stalks with respect to minor controls and a digital agent panel with dials for speed, remoteness covered and battery range. Two screens ward the dashboard display the view abaft the car—there are no door mirrors to stir the airflow, but small cameras—and multiply by two as monitors for the Around inspect Camera which give a bird’s look on view of the car when maneuvering or parking.

NuVu uses unhandsome-energy LED head and tail lamps, and the heat-producing and ventilation system filters and cleans the incorporated town air as it passes through the excipient.
