About the concept:

This is project of ecological vehicle for cities, where people would strictly use an alternative transportation. Mainly usage should be for sport activities in natural reservations situated close to the city.

This vehicle also reckon with existing network of vehicles – NG CONNECT. Driver can access to that network through his smartbook device. This device also taking care about vehicle landing run depending on battery stamina and GPS planned route.

Design language is inspired by lightweight motorcycles supported by comfort of cars. Sport usage of this car predict alot of baggage hold, thereat is for disposal of passengers couple of detachable rucksacks.

About the concept:

The concept is a futuristic version of how lightweight cars designed to compete in different places around the world.
The Barchetta is a modern interpretation of cars that used to race in mythical races like: the Mille Miglia , “Targa Florio”, “Le Mans” or “La Carrera Panamericana” competitions that served to consolidate the reputation and racing pedigree of brands like: Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Maserati, and Porsche, just to name a few.
In those years brave pilots used to race roofless cars at high speed through the very enthusiastic public in the streets.
By having in mind the soul of those years and by the use of new technology and solutions, the barchetta is a car that transmits sensations to the driver and focuses on the driving experience.
Nowadays with a world which is more concern about efficiency, sports cars cannot be excluded from this principle, and with the implementation of revolutionary technologies car will be greener, lighter and of course…faster.
All this with new discoveries in the materials field that will be available to the public in the years to come.
The use of new technologies like a carbon nanotube based textile, could be for example used in the body of the car in order to make the car as light as a feather, and not only improving the dynamic performance of the car but also changing completely the design language of the car and adopting a more dramatic shape. And for example in the specific case of the Barchetta, featuring a design language inspired in the human body and how it moves thanks to its muscles and tendons.

About the concept:

With congested roads, under used seats, high emission levels and fuel consumption, alternate efficient means of transport are highly sought after at this time and into the future. Electric powered and hybrid vehicles are making their way into the consumer market and are changing consumer perceptions as to what can power our vehicles. However, through all this change there has been one thing that remains the same; human power. Bicycles have been around since the wheel was invented and have evolved into a highly efficient means of personal transport in most situations. Getting from A to B is easy, however, some downfalls convince people to travel in the car nine out of ten times. .

A major problem that has arisen in our society looks at the unwilling population to ride human powered vehicles on short trips, given that today’s vehicles are so polluting and space consuming it is time that people actually start looking for and using alternate forms of transport Flux addresses the inherent issues our society is facing in respect to current modes of transport by combining the benefits of small electric vehicles addressing issues of storage space, weather resistance and alternate efficient power, lightness and accessibility of a human powered vehicle and a new visual appeal.

Usability and ergonomics are a major issue in that this vehicle is centred around the one and only user. In a comparison with a conventional car seating package Flux caters for a more relaxed semi-recumbent seating arrangement. This aids in pedalling ability by freeing up the legs and allowing larger amounts of air flow to circulate around the user. A constant air flow is achieved via vents at the bottom underneath the cabin circulating air up and around the user cooling them while riding. This air also escapes after moving through the vehicle via vents under the top fin. A telescoping steering assembly allows users with different length arms to adjust to their liking. While entering the vehicle the steering column has a split and can be moved out of the way.

Manoeuvring Flux is made simple with a small sized platform tailored for smaller streets and tight car parks. In a comparison with the average Australian male Flux features a small usable package that approximately 4 Flux vehicles can be parked in a standard car park perpendicular to the typical parking manor. Entry and exit is made easy via a hydraulically controlled vertical tilting door opening a large entry space. The user can simply step inside and pull themselves in via strategically places grab handles. Generic wall plug in allows for familiar use charging as well as location of a charging station easy.

The exterior and interior of Flux incorporates some very conventional and easily accessible manufacturing techniques. This allows for immediate action, and also a familiarity in the manufacturing process. The tilting mechanism is used in order maintain stability while turning. By leaning into the corner the vehicle can replicate a bicycle or motorbike and corner faster but with more stability Lighting is a major feature in that night riding is common. Forward and rearward high visibility LED’S are used. Rear lights are position high for larger visibility for passing motorists. While indicator lights are placed above the front wheel arches for an almost 360 degree view visibility.

About Leigh Hendrik Cosentino:

A young designer, graduated from Monash University Bachelor of Industrial Design with honours in 2009. This final year project was a good balance of Transport and Product design, two passions in which I didn’t want to favour either. A mix of clean lines and surfaces communicating a new form in the alternate power revolution!

About the concept:

Due to the high population density is the creation of artificial islands in the sea along the lines of Dubai is an interesting option. The movement across the sea may therefore be a future trend for private transport. Previous individual means of transportation, such Sailboats or motor yachts are only available to wealthy people and call for the construction and operation of large quantities of raw materials.
In this thesis, a concept is developed that allows a broad class of population to the individual on the sea, or more generally to water. Based on the kite surfers is a technology designed with mass production producible means of transportation. The movement is done simply by using renewable energy sources, wind as driving force and the movement of water as an unlimited area.
This three-seater hydrofoil sports a center driving position, plus a sweeping cantilevered glass roof with exposed rear deck.

About the concept:

This is a personal project of a “green” sports car mainly inspired by sci-fi and futuristic themes.
I tried to get away from the extreme race car look and give it more fashionable lines, this car would be more of a sleek cruiser than an extreme race car.

About the concept:

TAA is concept car designed for second design challenge -Auto(r)
It’s concept car for seniors
People around their 60ties are mostly economically stable and independent. Their business careers are already stable and they live calm family life. It appears they have more need to spend a peaceful and longer vacations.
I got inspired by watching models of ships Rivaboat.
A man with a boat, a man eager for a quality rest, either alone or in company, willing to tour some new destinations. The whole atmosphere is associated with the boat (travel + vacation), I tried to enter into the design concept of TAA.

About the concept:

MOY concept is made for generation who uses technology as a means to express themselves and communicate with others.
The idea behind MOY concept is that everyone can design their own car on their own computer and then apply the design to the vehicle using wireless data transfer or share it with other people through web-site, forum, e-mail etc.
To those who lack the necessary skills or time to create their own design, we offer the option of downloading ready made designs.
The vehicles are interconnected, so the change is possible in motion.
Movement recognition technology enables us to draw on the car in real time.
Since MOY can display both static images and videos, it can be used as a new medium of promotion.
Vehicle is powered by batteries that charge electromotors set in wheels and controlled by drive-by-wire technology.
The body of the car is made of outer and inner polycarbonate layers, with layers of liquid crystals, LED diodes and electrochromic foil in between.

The concept MOY is the winner of the design contest during the auto(r) automotive design conference 2009.
