Tata Pixel concept

The Tata Pixel concept was recently unveiled at the 81st Geneva Motor Show. This new city car concept for Europe is based on the Tata Nano, the World's cheapest car.



Featuring scissor doors, the car boasts of what they term as "zero turn toroidal traction drive infinitely variable transmission (IVT)" which enhances the car's ability to manoeuvre and park in the tightest of spaces with a turning circle radius of just 2.6 metres.



The Pixel is powered by a 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine which gives an economical 3.4 l/100km with CO2 emissions of just 89g/km.

The rear view mirrors have been replaced by cameras and monitor. Another innovation was the non-contact charging system that enables it to be recharged at any wireless charging station.

The Peugeot BB1 concept



A complete rethink of the car by Peugeot. The BB1 concept is an electric car which carries 4 people and designed so that it is only 2.5 metres long - smaller than the Smart ForTwo and Toyota iQ. The car made its debut at the Frankfurt International Motor show.





Instead of a steering wheel, the car has handle bars and no pedals on the floor. Similar to a bike, the accelerator and brake levers are on the handles.
