I think that it's a good time to post my concept in this forum. Please take a look at the description and renders below.
That about name (Capca) of this concept. Oh, my little son very like to take a bath. He calls water "cap-ca". I like this sounds and named the concept so - Capca.
What will city infrastructure and city transport, parking and fueling be like in the near future? Let’s take a look at your city from the height of a skyscraper, what will you see? There are green areas and water pools, round shape streets and austere simplicity of architecture, streams of hi-tech ecovehicles and eye appealing blossoms of parked cars. You'd be glad to know that parking lots filled up with cars now produce oxygen so necessary for life. No more smog and polluted air, no more packed buses and fussy crowds.
Capca is space-saving car to serve as an alternative to public and private city transport. Capca vehicles are environment-friendly. Their parkings are innovative, compact and attractive. They can function as recharging stations, solar energy storage batteries and oxygen generators (optionally).
It’s design is inspired by nature: you can observe clear outlines of petals, shells, flowers, animals and insects as well as medieval knightly armour.
Technical features
The electroengines are located in the back wheels. The car glasses are transparent solar batteries and in addition there is a transparent monitor built into the windscreen. The car is equipped with sensors and panoramic view cameras, with navigation and autoparking systems. It's important that wheel-engines are shifted together when parked: that makes a car back smaller. There are two accumulators in the car: the first is for a chassis and the second is for electronics. The maximum speed of the vehicle is 90 km/h, fuel distance at one battery charge is approximately 180 km, full charge time from solar batteries is approximately 10 hours under average sun activity. Vehicle dimensions: length 2230 mm, width 1590 mm, height 1530 mm. Wheel base: 1540 mm longways, 1270 mm edgewise.
Target group
Large city residents, large companies, recreation centers, amusement parks, universities and public offices.
The idea of the flower is fun and looks ecologic, the vehicule is fun too, maybe too "square" but with more chance you will have your place in the finalist. At least their is ideas and a funny side in your work.
This concept is so far my favourite, simply because it seems to be about more than just the car and about life and practicality. It helps that it looks cute and that the parking arrangements seem like mechanical flowers... anything to light up people's days are good!
This is not a car. This is a "mean of transport". I don't like it. I'm a hothead of cars, not "wheeled shoe-boxes".
And I wish You all the best in case You crashed in this... thing. Does it have any safety solutions?
