The face of transportation will continue to change greatly in the coming years, so the conceptual Honda Tomo identifies what we could be in store for and the kind of vehicles we might see driving on city streets.
The electric vehicle was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show as a thesis project by a group of students in the Masters in Transportation Design course at IED Torino. The vehicle features a length of 13 feet and a six foot width to merge the functionality of an SUV with the compact capabilities of a sedan.
The conceptual Honda Tomo vehicle was explained by the IED team who said, "Tomo was designed for a new market segment where age doesn’t count. It seeks to spark the interest of new generations who increasingly have a non-traditional occupation, who want to experience their car in a fun and useful way.”
