designer's own words:
Renault 4ever, a car 4Life
Icon on wheels, tool of liberty, the Renault 4 was a clever and sustainable vehicle. 50 years after the birth of its older, the Renault 4ever is inspired by those values, more than ever present with the necessity to change our consumption behavior.
The Renault 4ever remains faithful to the spirit of the successful Renault 4, reinterpreting its identity in the new era: simple and practical volume, soft shape, friendly and doesn’t date look.
As the first “circular economy” vehicle, the Renault 4ever is directly inspired by nature: its chassis is like a skeleton made of aluminum, light, inalterable and easily recyclable. Its body is made of bio plastic pressed panels, reinforced by natural cotton fibers, biodegradable by bacterium at the end of the vehicle life. The body is simplified with a reduce number of panels. The car doesn’t need painting or any other chemical treatment. Like a snake, the body is protected by a skin, easily replaceable offering infinite possibilities of personalization.
The Renault 4 ever is an electric vehicle, featuring a new kind of battery using a fluid which can be instantly replaced at a station: The fluid can be charged out of the car by renewable energy, using a circular system.
