London-based Nissan Design Europe. The concept, which
was shown at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show, is a vehicle
designed specifically for scientists, geologists, archaeologists
or any other professionals who work in inaccessible and
challenging environments.
The cabin of the Nissan Terranaut holds 3, a driver, a
passenger, and a single rear passenger who has access
to a wide range of computer, communication, and analysis
equipment laid out all around the centrally mounted rotating
chair incorporating a computer keyboard.
Access to the Terranaut's interior is provided by a single
door on the passenger side, allowing for equipment to
be positioned where the rear door would be, and a double
door system on the drivers side. The rear-hinged rear
door, and lack of a B-pillar on the drivers side facilitate
entry and exit.
The tires of the Nissan Terranaut, courtesy of Goodyear,
are designed for use both on and off the road. Puncture
proof, they change their profile using air pressure to
switch between on-road tyres, to aggressive off-road tyres.
