Here's the next generation electric car Staff Reporter Goodyear recently announced that it is co-operating with StreetScooter at the Geneva Motor Show 2013.
StreetScooter is a university driven, multi-partnership venture to develop a next generation electric vehicle for Europe and beyond.
Named after the popular "autoscooter" that children and adults enjoy at fairs all around the world, the StreetScooter is a new way of approaching tomorrow's car.
The car is designed to operate in tomorrow’s inner cities, delivering a compact, yet roomy car that runs on electricity, delivers almost no pollutants to its environment and operates quietly.
The project is being followed by Goodyear as it is fully aligned with its vision of developing a sustainable future for mobility.
Streetscooter is not the product of a single firm, but the result of a major venture partnership between around 20 companies: auto parts suppliers, technology companies, software developers, university researchers, and so forth.
The project is a major collaboration between small or medium companies that not only have a hand in building the car, but also in creating it.
Each partner can provide its own advanced technologies to help deliver an inner city car.
The result is a modular vehicle, with parts that can be added, removed and reused depending on customer preference.
The modular approach gives the car an additional edge as it can be built quickly and inexpensively.
The StreetScooter was born in Aachen, Germany, but it soon became international with the involvement of specialists from different companies.
