City streets are crowded, emissions are rising, and traditional cars aren’t built for the urban landscape. This project reimagined what an electric car could be: compact, efficient, and designed for modern city life and urban mobility challenges.
Task
Develop a lightweight, energy-efficient electric vehicle optimized for urban transportation, focusing on sustainability, space efficiency, and structural integrity.
I designed a monocoque carbon fiber chassis and a compact suspension system to create a car that was light, strong, and energy-efficient. The focus was on reducing weight without sacrificing safety, ensuring the vehicle met crashworthiness standards while maintaining optimal energy consumption.
Urban mobility faces major challenges:
- Traffic congestion and space limitations
- Inefficient energy use in stop-and-go conditions
- Emissions and sustainability concerns
This project aimed to create a smarter alternative—an electric car tailored for city life, balancing efficiency, safety, and sustainability.
