Hiriko Foldable Electric Car |
With more and more people having concern about the world we live in, a
lot has gone through trying to prevent making the world the worst place
to live in. This includes trying to look for eco-friendly alternatives
for devices and gadgets used for daily living. When it comes to
transportation in the near future, it seems that cares are becoming more
compact and use primarily electricity to run. One of the more
interesting vehicles to come out recently includes this unique Hiriko Electric Folding Car.
The Hiriko Electric Folding Car offers a safe and eco-friendly
alternative to urban transport. It is designed to work well in the tight
and cramped spaces typical of most urban dwellings today. It aims not
only to offer clean energy transport but also a space-saving means of
going around the city. It comes with a 20HP electric motor and is
controlled by a drive by wire system. It is able to achieve speeds of up
to 50km/h or around 31mph and can go for a range of 120km or 75miles.
Its unique design also allows it to collapse into two separate unique to
fit into tight parking spaces. The attention of the prototype is slowly
getting steam in terms of integration into city life as it is slated to
be part of the electric vehicle-sharing
scheme being introduced in Berlin, Germany. It will start its initial
phase this year and may become as an official mode of city transport by
2014.
