Daihatsu Pico Concept

The Daihatsu Pico is a study of a ultra compact four-wheeler focused on ease of use, with an electric powertrain and a 1+1 seating layout.

Debuting at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, the Daihatsu Pico is a compact, 2-seater urban vehicle that mixes the features of conventional cars and motorized bicycles.

It joins a growing group of concept vehicles recently presented by many carmakers, such as the Nissan PIVO 3, the Suzuki Q-Concept, the Volkswagen NILS, the Audi Urban Concept, the GM EN-V, the Peugeot VELV Concept.

More specifically, Daihatsu’s electric commuter is targeted to a wide group of potential customers living in crowded urban environments, that includes elderly people and delivery business.

The layout is characterized by large openings and a low, flat floor that makes it easy to get in or out.

The 1+1 tandem seating layout allows a very reduced width. Among the onboard technologies is an advanced radar system.

The exterior design is characterized by the absence of side windows and panels.

The silver-colored horizontal stripe that runs across the entire vehicle, serves as a side protection bar, and visually dividing it into two halves.

It also integrates four displays -one for each side – which can display different messages.
