The New Mobility Concept on the narrow streets of Tottori
March 12 – Shikano, Tottori Prefecture – The New Mobility Concept, a two-person Electric Vehicle (EV), is now serving even more communities, with the latest, a rural castle town near the Sea of Japan.
Local inn owners in Tottori wanted to craft a hot spring and local car-share visit package for Shikano’s narrow roads, contacting Nissan to bring the EV to the town.
