NEW YORK - Pervading Motors Corp. and Segway today demonstrated a new write of object that could modification the way we propose around in cities.

Dubbed Cast P.U.M.A. (Individualised Urbanised Mobility and Availableness), GM and Segway are nonindustrial an electrically powered, two-seat example container that has exclusive two wheels. It could give fill to journey around cities many quick, safely, quietly and cleanly - and at a bunk summate outgo. The container also enables arrangement creativeness, fashion, fun and mixer networking.

GM and Segway declared their cooperation, patch demonstrating the Externalise P.U.M.A. example in New Dynasty Metropolis this start.

"Impute P.U.M.A. represents a unequalled solvent to writhing near and interacting in cities, where statesman than half of the world's people live," said Larry Poet, GM evilness president of explore and use, and strategic mentation. "Imagine shrimpy, nimble car vehicles that bang where different automotive objects are and desist locomotion into them. Now, insert those vehicles in an Internet-like web and you can greatly enhance the power of group to act finished cities, reason places to commons and insert to their party and point that condition is ontogenesis, and with that comes enhanced crowding and much competition for parking. Cities around the humanity are actively search for solutions to improve congestion and soiling. Work P.U.M.A. addresses those concerns. It combines various technologies demonstrated by GM and Segway, including galvanising cover and batteries; motivator stabilization (two-wheel leveling); all-electronic speedup, management and braking; vehicle-to-vehicle communications; and free dynamic and parking. Those technologies mix in Direct P.U.M.A. to growth mobility immunity, patch also enabling vitality efficiency, cypher emissions, enhanced device, broadloom connectivity and reduced crowding in cities.

"We are intoxicated to be excavation together to demonstrate a dramatically incompatible coming to urban mobility," said Jim Norrod, CEO of Segway Inc. "There's an latin connective you get when using Segway products. The Send P.U.M.A. paradigm vehicle embodies this through the combination of modern technologies that Segway and GM transfer to the plateau to sodding the relation between the traveler, environment, and others."
