CES 2022: Hyundai MOBIS M.Vision POP and 2GO van unveiled

R&D arm and auto parts supplier, Hyundai MOBIS, has released its solution to gridlocked cities by revealing a small two-seater EV and fuel-cell-powered delivery van called the M.Vision POP and M.Vision 2GO respectively.

Beginning with the two-seat electric car, the Hyundai M.Vision POP is said to have been created for car share schemes and is claimed to be capable of operating up to Level 4 autonomy.

Despite being capable of driving itself there's a steering wheel for drivers to override the car and take control. The controls can even slide, converting from right-hand drive into a left-hook car that the passenger can pilot in a matter of seconds.

Inside, the driver's smartphone can be mounted to the steering wheel that can also be used to customise the cabin. The same phone also acts as a digital instrument cluster.

Both car and van feature Hyundai's all-new E-Corner Modules that combine an electric motor, steering system, braking and suspension in one unit.

This enables each individual wheel to pivot up to 90 degrees, allowing the vehicle to slide parallel into a parking spot. Alternatively, in a tight, narrow road the wheels can turn in opposite directions to allow the car to spin 360 degrees.

The M.Vision 2GO is said to be based on the same platform as the POP but its dimensions have been stretched by around 600mm to boost its good carrying capabilities.

Instead of a traditional battery, the 2GO bags a hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain that has a range of more than 200km.

Featuring flooring made out of upcycled plastic pallets and seat covers made from recycled plastic, the 2GO caters for eco-conscious tradies and businesses.

With the tiny van there's a cargo capacity that stretches to around 600 litres.

Other handy features include a detachable rear bumper that transforms into a rear cart.

There's also a communication screen up front that can alert pedestrians, and rear LED modules that can be used to display advertisements.

There's no word on whether either M.Vision POP or 2GO are planned for production.
