2010 New Mini GM EN-V Concept


General Motors and its tactical partner, Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp. Group (SAIC), share a general vision for addressing the need for personal mobility through a drastic change in personal metropolitan transportation. They are exploring several solutions for tomorrow's drivers. Among the most promising is a new vehicle form called EN-V.


EN-V, which is short for Electric Networked-Vehicle, maintains the core principle of personal mobility - freedom - while helping remove the motor car from the environmental debate and redefining design leadership. EN-V is a two-seat electric car that was designed to alleviate concerns surrounding traffic congestion, parking availability, air quality and affordability for tomorrow's cities.


Three EN-V models were unveiled in Shanghai. They represent three different characteristics that emphasize the enjoyable nature of future transportation: Jiao (Pride), Miao (Magic) and Xiao (Laugh). The concepts will be showcased from May 1 through October 31 at the SAIC-GM Pavilion at World Expo 2010 Shanghai. Shanghai is predictable to become one of the epicenters for the institution of personal mobility solutions for the future.


"EN-V reinvents the automobile by creating a new car DNA through the convergence of electrification and connectivity. It provides an ideal solution for urban mobility that enables future driving to be free from petroleum and emissions, free from congestion and accidents, and more fun and stylish than ever before," said Kevin Wale, President and Managing Director of the GM China Group.
