Nissan Showcases Future of Mobility At NYIAS

Last Friday marked the official start of the 2016 New York International Auto Show and Nissan was amongst the numerous automakers who were in attendance to showcase their latest concepts and future designs. For this year, Nissan chose to put the focus of their display on the Nissan Future Lab and their advancements in the world of “micromobility”.

Nissan established the Nissan Future Lab in 2014 and the group is dedicated to looking well into the future to develop a wider sense mobility by looking at a variety of products and different developments in automotive technology. Overall, the goal of this Lab is to keep Nissan ahead of the game by anticipating potential advancements or issues ahead of time so that the brand can adjust accordingly.

One such future advancement that the brand had on display at the NYIAS was the Nissan New Mobility Concepts (NNMC). This vehicle measures in at only 7.6 feet long making it around four-tenths the size of the new Nissan TITAN XD. This compact concept has been designed to help reduce traffic congestion in busy cities and lower pollution levels in those same areas.

“As large cities continue to grow into megacities globally, we need to better understand how transportation is changing and anticipate what transportation needs will look like in the future,” said Rachel Nguyen, director, Nissan Future Lab. “With the fast-paced growth of smart technologies and the emergence of the sharing economy, we are studying how this size and package of electric vehicle fits in real life customer situations.”
