Description:
TP is the shortened form of the name of my concept design—Three Passengers, for it is designed on a small size and allows for three passengers.
Bauhaus pays attention to utility and concision in design. In my design there is much more aesthetic feeling of the structure with an addition of some dissymmetrical elements. TP reflects the theory uppermost function of Bauhaus in space. Owing to use Drive-By-Wire, the steering wheel can fold upwards, then the driver’s seat is capable of being revolved 180°backwards. This is convenient for the communication between the passengers. The angle of the door when it is open is economical regarding using space. Its’ circular beer barrel contour has a 360°platform that will make you have a good view. TP is designed for the compact city use.
TP uses fuel cell power, which is not only useful to human life but also to our environment.
TP will be the fresh symbol in our modern time and it will bring more energy and more happiness to business people and the city.
