Description

The “Flexible Concept” is designed with a special body in the shape of an Oval. The wheels have a movement mechanism, the same as a chain ring, ensuring the car’s mobility and flexibility on all topographies, especially high slopes. However, it still retains its flexible movement on roads because of the ability to change angles regardless of the road surface.

“Flexible” is equipped with cleaner and lighter fuel batteries. Most of the car body is designed with durable NANO glass and has maximum visibility for the driver.

Common Arrangement:

  • Car body is designed in the shape of an Oval
  • Fuel battery engine
  • Wheels with special movement mechanism – encompassing full body, providing strong structure
  • Smart buffer system, minimizing big seismic on cabin
  • Changing angles with road surface
  • Ability to move on sloping roads with large inclines/declines

It’s possible to say that Flexible is expressing a freestyle in the future, bringing sense of interesting, dynamic, youthfulness, flexibility, effect and friendly for the environment.
