City Concept - Congestion, Environmental issues and parking mean city driving will become more difficult in the future. This concept looks to help alleviate these issues without compromising user comfort and convenience. Why does energy efficiency and problem solving have to be dull?
Interior - Personal Transport. Individual lifestyles mean traveling to work is usually done alone. 2 seats, 1 of which folds to create storage make the car small, easy to maneuver and will not clog up the roads.
Wireless Charging - The vehicle runs primarily on hydrogen fuel cells. This is supplemented by wireless charging of a secondary battery. A road infrastructure means the battery can charge as it passes 'wireless electricity hotspots' on the city roads. The vehicle can then rely solely on its battery so as not to waste hydrogen. Out of the city the vehicle runs on its hydrogen cells making it is self sufficient.
Electromagnetic Parking - The concept uses a space efficient method of parking. Electromagnets under the road and in the back of the car repel in the controlled area of the parking bay to lift the rear off the ground creating vertical parking. This is controlled by the front wheels which are always in contact with the road and brake to assist the vehicle reach its vertical storage height. The repellant electromagnetic field and the holding front wheels keep the car in its storage position.
Idea Generation - Congestion, Environmental issues and parking mean city driving will become more difficult in the future. This concept looks to help alleviate these issues without compromising user comfort and convenience with a minimalist theme.
