Mega Compact Eco Cars

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Capca

— August 10, 2008 — Autos
Move over, Smartcar. There may well be competition with this concept car called the Capca. Like the Smart Car it saves a ton of space and is environmentally friendly. Unlike the Smartcar, the occupants are seated in sequence making this car narrower. The Capca is supposed to be powered by electric engines which drive the back wheels. In order to keep the car's profile even narrower, the back wheels tuck in together in the park position.

The futuristic design by Russian designer Anatoly Shikhov will have a transparent monitor incorporated into the windscreen. Such a car wil naturally have sophisticated sensors with panoramic view cameras connected to navigation and auto-parking systems. The maximum speed will be 90 km/h and a fuel distance of 180 km on one battery charge.
Trend Themes
1. Compact Electric Cars - The trend of compact electric cars like the Capca presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the automotive industry, providing environmentally-friendly and space-saving transportation options.
2. Sequenced Seating - The trend of sequenced seating in cars, as seen in the Capca, opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation in car design, allowing for narrower profiles and maximizing space efficiency.
3. Transparent Monitor Integration - The trend of integrating transparent monitors into car windshields, as envisioned in the Capca, creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in displaying information and enhancing driver experiences.
Industry Implications

2. Electric Vehicle Manufacturing - The electric vehicle manufacturing industry can seize the trend of compact electric cars, like the Capca, to develop and produce sustainable and efficient electric vehicles for urban mobility.
3. Automotive Technology - The automotive technology industry can leverage the trend of integrating transparent monitors into windshields to innovate in displaying information, connectivity, and enhancing driver safety and convenience.
