“Keijidosha,” or “Kei car” for short, means “light vehicle.” The KeiClass is a Japanese urban vehicle that is limited to 660 cc, tax-free, eligible for parking spaces, and very technologically advanced whether it’s a car, van or pickup. Maximum size restrictions are 3.4 meters long, 1.48 meters wide and 2 meters tall. First-year students were asked to research and design KeiClass cars and this gallery is the result of some of their work.  Students attended seminars with representatives from Daihatsu and Suzuki – both leading manufacturers of Kei cars in Japan. The project was led by Richard Winsor, Senior Tutor in Vehicle Design at the RCA, in collaboration with Andrew Nahum, Principal Curator of Technology at the Science Museum and Research Co-ordinator within the Vehicle Design department.
Students presented their projects, which were assessed and judged by backers Daihatsu and Suzuki, to an invited audience at the museum.
