GM/Segway PUMA Concept
At the New York Auto Show GM and Segway have presented the P.U.M.A. project, a working prototype of a two-wheels electronically stabilized electric vehicle. Capable of transporting two passengers, it embodies a new vision for the future of urban transportation.
Project P.U.M.A. (Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility) is an under development project that has the the goal of setting a new vision for the future of urban transportation.
It is an electrically powered vehicle with only two wheels that expands the concept of Segway’s PTs (Personal Transporters).
Built to carry two or more passengers, it can travel at speeds up to 35 miles per hour (56 kph), with a range up to 35 miles (56 km) between recharges.
Project P.U.M.A. combines several technologies demonstrated by GM and Segway, including electric drive and lithium-ion batteries; dynamic stabilization (two-wheel balancing); all-electronic acceleration, steering and braking; vehicle-to-vehicle communications; and autonomous driving and parking.
Those technologies integrate in Project P.U.M.A. to increase mobility freedom, while also enabling energy efficiency, zero emissions, enhanced safety, seamless connectivity and reduced congestion in cities.
A working prototype was first unveiled and demonstrated by General Motors and Segway at the 2009 New York Motor Show.
