General Motors, US based world's second largest car maker has rolled-out a new concept of its electric car in China on Wednesday. The car has been designed specially for mega cities. The concept car has a unique design though there is no confirmation from company's side about the design of the car which will actually hit the road.

The electric car concept car which has been codenamed as EN-V (Electric Networked-Vehicle) will be showcased at a shared pavilion with its join venture partner SAIC Motor Corp in the World Expo to be held in Shanghai from May through October.

The EN-V concept is a two seat-er car which will be able to communicate with other cars on road, which in turn will decrease the possibility of an accident. Besides this the car will help in easing the traffic situation at that time. The car can run-up to 40 km on a single charge.

However, the model is expected to hit the roads in next 10 to 20 years as currently it is at its initial stage and many regulatory changes will be required making this model compatible to emission and safety norms. In the EN-V we are really showing a new concept, for not just electrified vehicles but a reinvented vehicle experience for mega cities, Alan Taub, GM's vice president for global research and development, told reporters in Shanghai.
