At Eicma 2010 Piaggio Group of Italy introduces the NT3 Concept. An extraordinarily innovative vehicle, designed to meet mobility needs in areas with the highest development rates, specifically in India, Vietnam and South East Asia. Can we see competitor for Tata Nano here, if the concept converts to reality soon?
NT3 is a compact, safe, flexible, manoeuvrable and attractive vehicle as well as being highly competitive thanks to its contained costs.
The Piaggio NT3 Concept can have three different engines.
The 200cc engine is characterised by significantly reduced costs of operation, consumption and polluting emissions.
The 300cc engine, based on the consolidated technology of the Piaggio Mp3 three-wheeled scooter, provides brilliant performance in the internal combustion 300cc version.
The 300 hybrid engine version integrates – as with the new Piaggio Mp3 300 Hybrid – the traditional low environmental impact internal-combustion powertrain with the zero emissions electric powertrain with performance equal to the 300cc internal combustion (80 km/hour max speed) and a speed of 30 km/hour in the ZEV "electric only" mode.
Concept NT3: key characteristics
- Compact size: thanks to a length of only 2.4 metres, NT3 moves about easily in traffic and is easy to park.
- Load capacity: In the people carrier version, optimisation of the spaces guarantees full accommodations for three people thanks to the innovative three seat configuration with centre driving position.
- Safety: NT3 is conceived around a space frame structure with crash box in order to guarantee maximum protection of the occupants.
- Economy: more than 30 km with one litre of fuel.
- Respect for the environment: the reduced weight allows consumption and emissions to be contained. NT3 can be available with high efficiency and low emissions power drives, including hybrid Piaggio HyS technology.
- Modular: NT3 is a vehicle conceived to allow various transport solutions, such to configure a complete and diversified range of products.
