Summary
In addition to e-mobility, a trend in the automotive industry is to also provide urban mobility solutions such as car sharing alongside personal transport. To increase the user benefit and the range of potential users, all new vehicle concepts are required. This exact realization is the starting point for project "SVEN". This vehicle is specially designed for urban car sharing, considering equally the requirements of both the user as well as the operator. For a vehicle with a length of only 2.5 m and space for 3 occupants, the ergonomic and technical package is a challenge. Especially regarding the front-end crash optimization and the lateral people package.
