The Ultimate Roadtrip-Mobile

The EV X-O concept is a family-focused vehicle inspired by the group road trips we all experienced as kids. The exoskeleton of the car offers a near-seamless panoramic view for passengers so they can fully take in the surroundings. The cockpit is even divided into two sections to keep bickering kids apart!

The center of this 100% electric vehicle has two hulls that not only offer the rigidity and support needed for safety, but also accommodate the energy cells that power the vehicle. While the front wheels are propelling the vehicle, the rear wheels are recharging the cells through friction. Even though a direct 1-to-1 discharge to recharge is next to impossible, the Recharge is approximately 15%, giving more efficiency to the overall distance traveled.
Lightweight construction materials like aluminum, titanium, magnesium, carbon fiber, and lexan, are an essential in creating a lighter vehicle.  The design eliminates as much of excess material as possible, leaving only a cockpit and exoskeleton of a chassis behind. Furthermore, a lighter full-electric engine provides additional weight savings over a conventional petrol engine.

A light and airy exoskeletal aesthetic offers a different approach to the passenger experience. It has an artistic influence based on minimalism that is expressed even down to the seams of the exterior. Though you may not be able to see the overall body lines of the car, they are still there. This airiness also flows into the wheels, where there is plenty of negative space. The design was inspired by spoked bicycle wheels where lightness is key.

Another feature of the vehicle is its drive train, where a linear motor system is utilized. The front wheels have a series of linear motors that force discs on the wheel forward or backwards depending on the magnetic pull of the motors.
