The Mobility Transition
+
Europe is undergoing a mobility transition.
Combustion engines and heavy electric vehicles are energy madness and not in keeping with the times, especially in an urban context.
More and more people are realising this. Rail travel is increasingly perceived as an important CO₂-reducing alternative to owning a car.
On short journeys, however, many people do not see themselves using public transportation or beeing exposed to the weather on a two-wheeler.
The desire for weather-protected private transport can be fulfilled with two-seater electric light vehicles, so-called microcars.
These are energy-efficient, space-saving and inexpensive to purchase and operate. Unfortunately, the microcars currently available are a disaster from the point of view of the ‘European Green Deal’ for sustainable consumption.
They are not very easy to repair, are made entirely of composite plastics that are difficult to recycle and are only designed for a useful life of a few years - in other words, they are anything but sustainable. In addition, microcars are often labelled as unsafe, as safety concepts are dispensed with for cost reasons.
The solution is a likeable, energy-efficient lightweight vehicle with the following characteristics:
- long service life due to repair-friendly design
- Long service life thanks to the use of high-quality and sustainable materials
- Long service life thanks to timeless design
- Safety concept
- Independence from charging infrastructure thanks to exchangeable batteries
