Quite obviously quietness and “green”
are two objectives that seem to be driving the auto scene at the moment.
We often see electric vehicles and concepts powered by renewable energy
being displayed at various auto shows. Moreover the rise in the cost of
fuel has made auto makers think about possibilities that are fuel
efficient as well. When reducing fuel or energy consumption is the need,
the best possible solution is to let go one wheel and make the vehicle
run on three wheels. This approach better mileage and doesn’t make the
user sacrifice with performance and safety.
So here I have compiled some of the most amazing concept vehicles that run on three-wheels for better streets of tomorrow.
Peugeot +
Peugeot+
is supposed to be a fusion of a scooter and car. Designed to run on a
smaller electric motor, it aims to leave lesser or rather no carbon
prints behind. It has two front wheels for extra stability.
VentureOne
Designed by Los Angeles-based automobile company Venture
Vehicles, this vroom-ing Y shaped 3-wheeler will come in two versions,
which will have a wide range of accessories. With a fuel economy of 100
mpg and a top speed of over 100 mph, this vehicle is unquestionably
groundbreaking.
The Moby
The Moby
by WooJin Chung is one such strike that can take you to the future on
zero-emission electric engines. The concept vehicle can displace its
rear and alter it in different fashion to suit the traffic.
TransforMiss
The TransforMiss
concept is inspired by “a woman” who according to the designer is never
the same. The car seats two passengers and can be driven from either
seat by simply changing the position of the steering wheel and can be
driven with two, three or four wheels, depending on the street traffic
and user preference.
Bio Top
The Bio Top
is a futuristic electric car featuring three wheels, one of which
generates electricity as well. The Bio Top car utilizes wireless
electricity technology to transfer electricity, which is generated by
the car’s rear spherical wheel, to recharge the vehicle’s on-board battery as it moves.
Brontes
The Brontes
aims to curb pollution with an electric drive. The concept vehicle can
seat two individuals and runs on a lithium-ion battery pack. The car’s
expected top speed and range is set to show some decent figures, as the
car runs on three wheels.
Peugeot RD
Designed for a future metropolis, the Peugeot RD Concept,
will have a single seat and will run on three wheels. This concept car
combines the sensations of a 3-wheeled scooter with the driving pleasure
of a saloon car.
GM Car Hero
Designed by General Motors, the Car Hero Concept
aims to features easy controls. All the rider need to do is entering
the destination into the navigation app on his/her Smartphone and let
the vehicle do the rest. The Rider can unlock controls so he/she could
take the charge of the autonomous system.
Peugeot Q
The Peugeot Q
is a three-wheeled vehicle providing space for 2 passengers. With a
free spherical rear wheel, the car can literally spin 360 degrees, which
ease parking and driving in congested city lanes. The two wheels on the
front are incorporated with lithium-ion engine, which gives the car the
ability to change direction based on the transmitted velocity.
SV1
The SV1
actually looks like something out of the comic books. It has a shiny
body and three wheels. The vehicle is meant to seat two and is driven by
rear wheels, while steering is delegated to the two front wheels.
