US carmaker General Motors is joining with scooter maker Segway to make a new type of two-seat electric vehicle.
The prototype, which will be debuted in New York, is aimed at urban driving. GM aims to start making them by 2012.
The vehicle, named Puma, can go as far as 35 miles on a single charge. It will use lithium-ion batteries.
GM, having been bailed out by the US government as car sales have dropped, is looking to smaller vehicles to secure its future.
Puma stands for personal urban mobility and accessibility.
