It is an [urban transport](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-electric-microcar) that runs on compressed natural gas and gets 188 miles per gallon. The car measures 10'L x 3.3'W x 4.4'H and will cost $10,000 when it is produced. An inherent problem with vehicles designed like this three-wheeler, is tipping while cornering. The design engineers solved this problem with a clever (no pun intended) built-in lean. The same thing motorcyclists do during cornering. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Low Emission:** Reducing emissions in automotive design by utilizing alternative fuels. - **Compact Design:** Designing smaller and more efficient vehicles for urban transportation. - **Built-in Lean:** Incorporating leaning technology in vehicle design to prevent tipping while cornering. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** Manufacturing and designing vehicles that prioritize low emissions and compact size. - **Alternative Fuel:** Developing and implementing innovative fuel solutions to reduce carbon emissions. - **Transportation:** Creating efficient and safe transportation options for urban environments with built-in stability features. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tadpole-Shaped Three-Wheelers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threewheeled-cars.md) - [Three-Wheeled Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veemo-velomobile.md) - [Compact Urban Delivery Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tris-ev.md) - [Diminutive Urban Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-electric-cars.md) - [Three-Wheel Pod EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-nimbus-one.md) - [Streamlined Two-Seater Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-electric-car-concept.md) - [Lightweight Four-Wheeled Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/activcycle.md) - [Futuristic Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha-tricera.md) - [Hybrid Design Commuter Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-city-car.md)
