This year we decided to give our Mobuno project a thorough redesign. We were kindly asked to present and exhibit the study at the Future Transportation Conference 2018 in Cologne, so we definitely wanted to iron out some of the most prominent design issues.
The interior offers comfort for up to 4 passengers ... and we do serve drinks :)
Access got lowered to a small step, the entry door got widened, so wheelchair access is thinkable and in general we could establish a quick glance at the interior. Up to 4 people would have an quite comfortable seating and yes we offer drinks :).
Some of the design updates we included. The unit would be ideally 4 wheel steering resulting in a agility beyond imagination.
The spherical wheel design of the original version was replaced by an axial wheel system. Due to its high turning angle, it would offer a similar degree of mobility while offering more space to the interior.
Last but not least we looked at the whole concept from a different angle and what it effectively could do for the cities of today. Through the combination of a much higher utilization of a shared concept and condensed, offsite parking we strongly believe that our concept could be a massive impact to relax urban spaces by decreasing the amount of vehicles needed for a similar degree of mobility.
We do offer presentations of our concept; for more in depth material and further discussion please contact us.
Again we do thank Dr. Tim Lehmann of the IUM for his friendly cooperation.
