General Motors Unveils Futuristic Urban Concept Cars: Meet the PEV2 and PEV3

newautopost Views  

General Motors (GM) has unveiled a new concept car series
Featuring the two and three-seater PEV2 and PEV3

General Motors showcased the PEV2 and PEV3 concept cars, characterized by their unique seating arrangements, prioritizing maneuverability and space efficiency.

The PEV2 and PEV3 are designed to maximize energy use through an onboard propulsion system and feature an efficient platform for maneuverability on narrow city streets.

The interior of the vehicles also includes numerous digital technologies, such as high-resolution screens.

Vision for Urban Vehicles
Studied Urban Dwellers

The PEV2 and PEV3 concept cars unveiled by GM effectively present a vision for urban vehicles, similar to cars like the Smart ForTwo and Renault Twizy. Before creating these concept cars, GM conducted the Urban Active Project, analyzing customers’ driving patterns in cities like New York, London, and Shanghai.

Most drivers in these cities travel less than 40 miles per day, typically drive alone and do not exceed speeds of 40 mph. Based on the Urban Active Project findings, GM developed the PEV2 and PEV3 concept cars. Both vehicles are about 8.2 feet long and accommodate two or three passengers.

In densely parked urban areas
They can save a lot of space

Both the PEV2 and PEV3 are electric vehicles. The PEV2 has a centrally located driver’s seat with a passenger seat behind it, designed like a lounge, while the PEV3 has a similar central driver’s seat but with two passenger seats directly behind it.

These vehicles were produced by Chevrolet, a subsidiary of General Motors, in studios in Michigan and California. GM has expressed that the PEV2 and PEV3 can park very close to the curb, saving space in densely parked urban areas.

Although they look small, they offer ample space

GM also stated, “We created the PEV2 and PEV3 to demonstrate potential for efficiency, interior spaciousness, and fun experiences.” Despite their compact appearance, these vehicles offer ample space for two or three passengers and feature a minimalist interior.

Meanwhile, GM’s Design Manager Wade Bryant stated that the global research project Urban Active Project began with creating new vehicles, considering urban traffic challenges, trends among policymakers, and congested urban environments. He also mentioned that urban vehicles began with unmet demands from individuals and corporations.
