Eco Factor: Concept three-wheeled vehicle powered by electric batteries.
The TEL (Trasporto Elettrico Leggero/Light Electric Transport) is a light electric vehicle with high performance, which has been designed for public administrators and service companies. Designed by Sebastiano Ercoli, Andrea Grassi, Pietro Gottardi and Marta Loureiro, the TEL is a single-user, three-wheeled vehicle, having two power front wheels and one rear wheel.
The rear wheel is free to pivot in order to follow the direction set by the front wheels. The vehicle turns using an electric differential. The vehicle offers two driving positions: a seated and an innovative leaning position against a specific seat back. The second position, inspired by tram driver seats, aims to ease the ride and should make it more comfortable for users who’re mostly on the road.
To encourage initial market penetration, the team decided to design the vehicle for public administrators and service companies, rather than private industry, to resolve the problems of maintenance.
