The information is displayed on the windscreen, which helps the driver to concentrate on the road, and thus improves safety. Large windows provide perfect visibility for city driving. A push-pull door opening system gives excellent access to the interior and the high body gives plenty of room in the cabin and spacious trunk.The vehicle is driven by electric engines installed in the hubs of all the wheels and fed from fuel cells placed under the floor.
