Nissan creates the e-NV200 WORKSPACe

Are there many caffeine-addicted people who need a tiny electric-powered mobile office that can't travel very far? Probably not, but Nissan has nevertheless teamed up with designers Studio Hardie to concoct the one-off e-NV200 WORKSPACe.

Despite somewhat cramped proportions, the interior has an airy ambience thanks to a predominantly white colour scheme, LED lights, a panoramic glass roof and oak flooring. If a greater connection to the outdoors is required, then the split rear doors can be opened to deploy a rather gimmicky 'floating deck'.

Beneath a touch-screen computer sits a very small fold-down desk with a built-in pencil tray. For sustenance, a mini fridge and a fancy coffee machine comprise the kitchenette situated on the opposite side.

Also fitted are a wireless phone charging dock, a Bluetooth audio system, two moveable leather-covered chairs and a wireless internet facility. Completing the specification is a Brompton folding bicycle that hangs from a bespoke carrying bracket.

The concept certainly incorporates some novel features but, because it's based on the pure-electric e-NV200 van, driving range is limited to just 106 miles (170 kilometres) on a single charge.

For the time being at least, Nissan isn't planning a production version.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
