Burning fossil fuels, high traffic congestion, and vehicle emissions causing adverse health effects are just some of the many problems caused by our current personal city mobility norms. We have identified an opportunity to accelerate the shift to cleaner mobility norms, by developing a vehicle in which the user interaction and user experience are updated to interaction norms such as those that in modern smartphones. In addition, the current large heavy vehicle format doesn’t really fit in our cities and we are proposing something new.
We are leading the most deliberate reinvention of the automobile in modern times; abandoning the mechanical limitations of the combustion engine era and redefining the light city car and its core technologies. Our high-end electric car is designed for sustainable and efficient mobility, but is distinctly high-tech for high performance in an urban environment. Uniti is an electric city car that aims for holistic sustainability, a futuristic user experience and is developed in an open source manner.
