# Space-Saving Urban Vehicles The 'Car2Go' Automobile Concept Stands Up When Parked to Save Space By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-04-28 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automobile-concept References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2017/04/28/a-car-with-good-posture/) Cities have developed a number of ways to store vehicles when they aren't in use, but the 'Car2Go' automobile concept takes a more upstream approach with a design that is intended to save space from the get go. The 'Car2Go' is a [three-wheeled vehicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tris-ev) that offers a speedy driving solution for a single person who is located within an urban area who just needs a personal form of transportation to go short distances. When parked, the 'Car2Go' is able to be lifted upward to have it stand on the two main tires and a back bumper guard to instantly save precious space in a parking garage to fit more vehicles in the same amount of space. The 'Car2Go' automobile concept is the design work of Chiaying Lu. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Space-saving Vehicles:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating compact urban vehicles designed to maximize efficiency and save space. - **Personal Urban Transportation:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing small, single-person vehicles for short distance travel within urban areas. - **Vertical Parking Solutions:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in designing vehicles that can be lifted up and stored vertically to optimize parking space in congested urban areas. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** Automotive industry can explore the potential of developing space-saving vehicles designed for urban environments. - **Urban Planning:** Urban planning industry can adopt vertical parking solutions to optimize parking space and reduce congestion in cities. - **Design and Technology:** Design and technology industry can contribute to the development of innovative personal urban transportation solutions that prioritize space efficiency. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Magnetic Wall-Scaling Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trois-mobility-concept.md) - [Hybrid Design Commuter Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-city-car.md) - [Transforming Commuter Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-vista-roadster.md) - [Streamlined Two-Seater Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-electric-car-concept.md) - [Urban Rental Scooter Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-rental-scooter-concept.md) - [Two-Wheeled EV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twowheeled-electric-car.md) - [Weekend Excursion City Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playbox-urban-mobility.md) - [Shapeshifting Trunk-Friendly Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pxid-a1.md) - [Modular One-Person Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cmpn-concept.md)
