Peugeot+ Three Wheels Car Concept













































With constant increase in the private cars and depleting fossil fuels, it is but obvious that the space on the road is reducing pretty fast. The designers are looking for solutions that work on alternate fuel while occupying lesser space. Designer David Vargas has designed a three wheel design for Peugeot Design, what he calls Peugeot. It’s a two-seater vehicle using smaller electric engine as compared to most cars of similar sizes, and the third wheel is added for better stability. The car is perfect for crowded parking lots and is easy to maneuver and the design has surely hit bull’s eye.

Futuristic Three Wheel Car Concept by Matus Prochaczka






























Designer Matus Prochaczka from Slovak has come up with an unseen and unbelievable vehicle concept that can make you crazy on roads. He has named it MAG magnetic vehicle concept that runs on magnetic power and uses an electric engine that has a polarity. Its shape is similar to a ‘Whale coming towards you with an open mouth’. It is a 2-seater vehicle and definitely a unique design which you can not even imagine in your dreams. Not only this, MAG is also a winner of the Unseen Technology award at the interior motives design award 2007. There is only one thing that can stop you from having this vehicle is that it requires the roads to be made of huge panels with magnets formed in them. So, I guess it is not possible for every city to incorporate such demand in its infrastructure.

The Parasolar Provides Power While Protecting From The Sun




















The Parasolar is green technology concept that provides energy for lighting, charging, heating, and cooling equipment and devices. While protecting you from the sun, you can take advantage of Parasolar technology that transform the light absorbed at daytime to provide power by day and night.

The product comes in one carry-on case, easily transportable. The cover helps to fix and stabilize the Parasolar to the ground. The parasol is optimized with flexible photovoltaic laminated panels integrated in the synthetic cloth stretched on the structure of the parasol. The charger/battery and the energy transformer are placed at the base of the Parasolar, giving its stability. The tubular pole can be extended with a simple telescopic structure. When clipped together or assembled, the parasol and the base automatically initiate the energy transformation process. The Parasolar supports one-12volts-output and two USB sockets.

Corrina Three Wheels Car Concept

















With maximum comfort and less road space being the motto of the day, designer Marco Bevilacqua has come up with a new concept Corrina, which is a three wheels car. The car is based on Ape Piaggio chassis with the main frame being made of steel pipes while the bodywork is in ABS. It’s a 2 door model where the driver and the passenger enter from the same door. The driver seat is an orating one thus giving easy access to the driver while entering and alighting from the seat. That’s not all as the seats in the back also have comfortable seating for two people, so just zip through the roads.
