Eco Factor: Concept vehicle designed to be powered by electricity.
Of all the green fuels that promise to offer car drivers a zero-emission ride, electricity does seem the most promising. Moreover, if electricity too is generated from renewable sources of energy, you can be sure that you are doing your bit in driving around in that car. Industrial designers Alex Sherbak and Artem Sazonov are trying to merge the benefits of an electric car and the inexpensiveness of public transport in a vehicle they call the Modular Electro Car.
The concept is service based, where the user only buys a personal capsule with no engine and rents other modules that make the capsule a car. The system allows the user to purchase the engine of his or her choice and then attach it with the personal module. The electric engine will ensure that your ride is a non-polluting one and the omni-directional wheels make sure you can make the tightest turns quite easily.
The wheel concept is based on flexible tire pressure and changing contact patch that will have a dramatic effect on the energy consumption of the vehicle. The design allows the user to join different modules to make a bigger car with more space and ride a single module when the user is the only person who has to travel.
