Fresh, fun, and best of all, eco-friendly, the Citrus car by Spanish designer Edu Povarchik is a car concept that—at least, I hope—will be a real form of transportation in the near future.
The Citrus car is a zero-emission vehicle that derives power from hybrid motors which run on fuel cell and lithium batteries. It is finished in expanded polyurethane, recycling plastic, ecological leather, and aluminum, and as The Design Blog describes, the multimedia components within the car can be removed and used outside of the vehicle—for example, at the office or in the country.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Eco-friendly Cars
- The trend of developing cars that are environmentally friendly and utilize sustainable materials.
- Zero-emission Vehicles
- The trend of creating vehicles that produce no emissions and run on alternative energy sources.
- Modular Car Design
- The trend of designing cars with interchangeable components that can be used in various settings outside of the vehicle.
Sectors Adopting This
- Automotive
- The automotive industry has an opportunity to innovate by developing more eco-friendly cars that meet consumer demand for sustainability.
- Renewable Energy
- Renewable energy industries can take advantage of the trend towards zero-emission vehicles by providing alternative energy sources for these vehicles.
- Sustainable Materials
- Industries that produce sustainable and recyclable materials have an opportunity to supply the automotive industry with eco-friendly materials for manufacturing.
