The Technical University of Berlin has designed a three-wheeled car called CLEVER or Compact Low Emission Vehicle. It is an urban transport that runs on compressed natural gas and gets 188 miles per gallon. The car measures 10'L x 3.3'W x 4.4'H and will cost $10,000 when it is produced.
An inherent problem with vehicles designed like this three-wheeler, is tipping while cornering. The design engineers solved this problem with a clever (no pun intended) built-in lean. The same thing motorcyclists do during cornering.
Why This Trend Is Growing
- Low Emission
- Reducing emissions in automotive design by utilizing alternative fuels.
- Compact Design
- Designing smaller and more efficient vehicles for urban transportation.
- Built-in Lean
- Incorporating leaning technology in vehicle design to prevent tipping while cornering.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Automotive
- Manufacturing and designing vehicles that prioritize low emissions and compact size.
- Alternative Fuel
- Developing and implementing innovative fuel solutions to reduce carbon emissions.
- Transportation
- Creating efficient and safe transportation options for urban environments with built-in stability features.
