The idea of carpooling is an earth-friendly one but that doesn’t mean people will do it. Designer Car Walster, attempting to combat this problem, has created the ‘Four 1’ vehicle. The Four 1 vehicle is a concept car that aims to eliminate the fuel waste and occupied road space from single riders driving in four-seater cars.
With the ability to switch from being a hybrid to a fully electric car, the Four 1 vehicle is a single-seater auto with a glass dome cabin. It is powered by a 500cc motorbike engine that can travel about 40 miles a day and features an adjustable seat, movable steering wheel, and a back window that opens like a hatch back for storing luggage or daily essentials.
