THIS ELECTRIC VEHICLE IS SMART AND GREAT FOR CITY TRAVEL, ON BOTH ROADS AND WATER

Electric, hydrogen, and hybrid vehicles will help address environmental issues, but the sheer volume of vehicles on the roads will persist. Competition for road space will grow, despite efforts to promote compact concept vehicles. Flying cars seem appealing, but their practicality in crowded airspace is questionable. An alternative solution, especially for tropical regions, could be amphibious vehicles, offering a way to navigate around traffic jams for more efficient travel. The CROSSER V1 is made for commuting in coastal cities, aiming for flexible and fast transportation. Being electric, it’s quieter and cleaner. The CROSSER fleet provides personalized 24/7 service for urban residents. The future of transportation will cater to various user needs, depending on their travel purposes and lifestyle. This transition will involve interconnected mobility systems, integrating sustainable practices and technologies. Bernardo developed four versions of this concept, culminating in an amphibious transportation service. The vehicle features smart navigation, choosing the quickest path on land or water. The CROSSER is designed to be a versatile service, offering more than just passenger transportation. Its modular features allow for customized interiors based on user needs. By default, it seats four people and displays route information, weather, and warnings. With panoramic views, the seats have sensors and adjustable headrests. When transitioning to water travel, the CROSSER V1 uses its suspension system to elevate the maximum angle by 90 degrees. This happens automatically, thanks to LiDAR and Radar sensors, without requiring the vehicle to stop. Dual cameras with a wide viewing angle enhance the user’s display feed. This system not only facilitates water travel but also detects obstacles on land.

ELECTRIC PINNIFARINA HOT ROD FEATURES HUBLESS WHEELS AND SLEEK AERODYNAMICS

Pininfarina, known for shaping the design direction of Ferrari, Alpha Romeo, Maserati, and Peugeot, started as a coachbuilder for luxury cars in the 1930s. Their electric hypercar, the Pinnifarina Batista, pays homage to the owner and showcases their commitment to luxury and customization. Recently, a new concept from Pininfarina has emerged—a compact urban microcar designed for tech-savvy, health-conscious individuals who appreciate a minimalist lifestyle. This two-seater electric vehicle, with hubless wheels and a raised height, is compact for easy navigation in crowded city areas. Unlike past designs, this concept prioritizes practicality, featuring a cockpit-like compartment that optimizes aerodynamics for minimal drag. This Pininfarina concept resembles a modernized hot rod, equipped for quick sprints rather than long races like Le Mans. With an electric motor providing torque, it’s not built for high-speed tracks. The swingarm suspension allows easy turning at decent speeds, making it suitable for short trips within the city and its limits. The raised rear and subtle front of this electric vehicle provide the driver with an excellent view. The clean color scheme, in line with Pininfarina’s signature design, complements its aggressive yet classy stance, creating an appealing overall look.
