Honda has a surprise package of technologies at the Los Angeles motor show called as the Personal-Neo Urban Transport (P-NUT) ultra-compact vehicle accommodating a bunch of powertrain technologies.
Honda’s approach is smarter than expected as it has showcased P-Nut which emerges to be a vehicle with a variety of engine replacement possibilities, thereby replacing the conventional internal combustion engines. The concept car features a modular rear engine outline, designed to accommodate a wide variety of potential powertrain technologies including a conventional small internal combustion engine, a hybrid system, or a battery-electric drive-train.
Specification Of Honda P Nut
The vehicle has been specifically designed for cities and tight urban areas giving a sense of compactness along with superior technology. The concept car features a central driving position and can accommodate three passengers with one at the the central driving position and two following at the rear.
The car is 3.4m long, 1.75m wide and 1.4m high (11.2 x 5.7 x 4.6 feet) but the space provided inside is hardly more than a mid-sized sedan which is the disappointing part. The rear seats can be folded in order to increase the space inside the car. Another quality apart from the variety of engine technologies is the windshield which is merged with the roof making it one piece. The windshield—which serves as a head-up display (HUD) for the navigation system and reversing camera—not only offers total above the head visibility, but also extends almost to the floor of the vehicle, broken only by an oversized Honda logo.
Developed by The Advanced Design Studio of Honda R&D Americas, Inc. in Los Angeles, the P-NUT is currently only a concept with no plans in place to bring it into production. The new Honda 3R-C Concept seems to have similarities with the previously unveiled Honda P Nut.
