City Transformer is an electric mini-vehicle with a shape-shifting chassis, having seamless transformation between compact and full-size modes, tackling congestion and parking. Ergonomic cabin layout & quality materials ensure safety & comfort.

The concept utilizes natural fibers, minimizing waste & energy consumption. It produces zero emissions, reducing pollution, & compact mode decreases traffic congestion and carbon footprint. It caters to urban dwellers and businesses, with convenient storage and a sustainable approach. It envisions an eco-friendly urban mobility future, greener, smarter, & more accessible.

City Transformer embodies a holistic approach to design innovation. It not only addresses technical aspects but also contributes to social and environmental improvements in cities. The City Transformer is designed with a shape-shifting chassis that adapts to the specific conditions of load and density in each city. This adaptability sets it apart from existing vehicles that often impose their presence on the urban environment.

The innovative technology allows the vehicle to seamlessly adjust its size, making it compact and nimble in crowded areas while providing ample space when needed. By embracing this adaptability, City Transformer aims to address one of the pressing issues in modern cities, where approximately 50% of public space is consumed by conventional cars.

With the vehicle's compactness and efficiency, we aim to give back a portion of that public space to the community. This means more space for pedestrians, cyclists, and green areas, fostering a better quality of life and promoting sustainable living in urban environments.

The adaptability of the City Transformer not only benefits the environment but also serves as a social and business innovation. By offering a solution that is versatile and efficient, we contribute to more harmonious coexistence between urban residents and their surroundings. Additionally, the reduced footprint of our vehicles can have positive economic impacts by optimizing parking space utilization and reducing traffic congestion.
