mö a sustainable vehicle by evovelo from spain
designer's own words:
About three thousand million people live in cities and suffer the same problems: Noise, pollution, traffic jams... Most of them are caused by cars. As conventional cars our vehicles are fully enclosed. They can carry two people, a variable amount of load and/or one or two child seats but unlike a conventional car they don’t pollute, do not make noise and they are very easy to park due to their small size. They give you the chance of some working-out using the assisted pedaling and they are totally fuel free so their environmental impact and maintenance costs are practically null.
We will design, manufacture and sale sustainable hybrid vehicles that comes to change the paradigm of commuting people and goods in urban environments, leisure and industrial. They are powered by a powerful electric motor and/or by human pedaling, which is powered by a battery that is charged with solar panels. Our vehicles allow personal mobility minimizing the need of material and energy resources of the planet: innovative, ultra-efficient and made with sustainable materials, vehicles that represent a real and very versatile alternative for private transport of people and goods.
Although we are using already well known technologies inspired by the ECO races, the most innovative thing is the way we are putting them altogether: First, we are manufacturing the vehicles mostly with sustainable materials such as woods or derivatives of wood and fully recyclable materials for the rest. Second, the vehicle is so efficient due to its low weight and systems integration that in most cases it will work only on solar power alone so it will be a truly solar car, a dream of many.
In order to achieve a very low manufacturing ecological foot print, for the model mö, over 75% of the vehicle is made with sustainable materials and the rest are fully recyclable.
- On normal use 20-30 Km/day (most cases) the CO2 produced will be 0 KgCO2/km because all energy to move it will come from the sun and/or your muscles.
- On intensive use over 40Km/day the the emissions will be as low as 0.001KgCO2/Km or even lower depending of were the electric energy to charge the battery comes from.
In conclusion, this is probably the most sustainable vehicle that could be found in the market.
