Description
Concept is based on the vision of future human habitats as a complex sustainable organism which needs a lot of energy. Concept Scarab-E is designed for the future that carries many consequences of today’s human mistakes – pollution, radiation, global warming and social problems. The inspiration came from the Scarab bug, a species which managed to survive the Earth’s worst scenarios.
The concept E2 is focused on solving three problems:
1. Energy consuming
It is powered by an electro-engine and supported by four electro-generators, each placed inside the wheels. That provides much more space for passengers and their luggage. Body weight is decreased by using light materials based on magnesium for making the body shell. For additional energy support, the entire body is covered with solar cells.
For additional energy saving, the wheels are thinner. That decreases the friction with asphalt which is one of the most significant factors that affect fuel consumption.
2. Passengers protection
Hot hatch concept SCARAB-E is the future of the family four-seater. The cars body and roof are covered with UV folio for protecting passengers from radiation and sunrays. Thanks to the smart photocells in folio, passengers will be able to completely decrease window transparency and drive with maximum discretion. The space frame has the protecting architecture of a cocoon, providing maximum impact protection.
3. Human design
Inspired by nature, the car body and the interior are designed to provide the maximum of usable space and its ergonomics is human oriented. The vehicle “feels” the passengers and sets its functions and performance according to their needs.
