POPSMichelin Challenge Design Gallery 2006
The name of my concept is, Brutale, because it's a car which must be solid and also charming like a woman. The concept is based on two hot lines: the independent four wheels which can turn on 360° with an engine in each rim with special tires based on the tweel system by Michelin and the principle of duality. The general design depends of the two things: the extreme possibility of movement in different axes of the wheels and the adaptability of the tires to the environment. I imagined a dashboard which accepts this data. The steering wheel has four handles and an accelerator which can command the four engines they are connected to in standard use or independent in manual use. A computer screen shows the position and the rotation speed of the wheels. One can also modify the hardness of the tires starting from this screen. Special buttons supplement the dashboard with the cramps button to raise the cramps manually from the park button. When you press it , the car with the laser ana

POPSMichelin Challenge Design Gallery 2006 Concept HYBSTER is an ecological vehicle designed to satisfy needs and taste of the Californian market. It is a unique combination of limousine luxury, agility of a small city car and attractively of a sports car. It is powered by two engines. Fuel cells are placed in front of the car using hydrogen as a fuel. Four independent electro engines are placed on each wheel (one engine by wheel). The main battery is placed bellow trunk floor. All engines are working alternately depending on driving style. The Hybster has a range of 300 km since it can call on the energy accumulated during braking by its lithium fuel cells stored under the floor. When combined with all wheel drive this offers the appetizing prospect of sports car performance combined with environmental compatibility. Each wheel can be steered separately. That allows vehicle to make a full circle with very small radius. This system helps at the parking car in tight places between other cars - now it can move obliquely.

POPSMichelin Challenge Design Gallery 2006 mobilicity PPT - Personalised Public Transport vehicle. It has been designed to meet the needs for mobility within the large metropolitan areas of future cities. It addresses the Big Three - congestion, air quality and energy consumption. It is a driver-less or automated system that offers up to 12 seats including 1 wheelchair. It will offer flexible routes and timing and by a demand-driven service operation. The operation is cash-less with the ordering of vehicles and charging for trips being via mobile phone. The drivetrain is always series hybrid with a lithium-ion battery pack, but offers a choice of power generation. These centre on bio-fuel ICE, hydrogen ICE and hydrogen fuel cell. The system will use 50% of the energy of a normal transit system and the operating costs are also 50% lower due to the avoidance of the dominant driver labor costs. When compared to a car based system, mobilicity uses but a tiny fraction of the energy and road space of current solutions. The guidanc

POPSMichelin Challenge Design Gallery 2006 n 1987 at the age of five years old John Lazorack III learned how to ride a 50cc dirt bike. That day ignited a passion for motion, a passion for power. Growing up building houses with his father he became familiar with how things where built and developed a keen sense for design. John received 2nd place in ninth grade at the AIS state wide high school architectural competition with out any prior drafting experience. Set on architecture through out most of high school, until the first day he got behind the wheel of an automobile. He graduated with honors in 2000 and enrolled in Penn State University for mechanical engineering. With a passion for mechanical understanding, but a heart for automobiles, he often found himself drawing cars instead of participating in calculus class. Following his heart he moved to California and is currently enrolled at the Academy of Art focusing in automotive design. John has now developed and excellent sense of design, enjoys extensive problem solvi

POPSFINE-N Toyota Concept Car By Yolanda Aprilia The vehicle employs four in-wheel motors in an innovative "cabin on wheels" configuration. Key to the fresh proportions of this ground-hugging, long-wheelbase-to-length design is Toyota's fuel cell hybrid technology, which allows

POPSMichelin Challenge Design Gallery 2006 Zeng Zhicong, 21, lives in China and is currently attending Wuhan University of Technology pursuing a degree in automobile engineering. Description: NEMO can become a mini Pick-up through "the fifth wheel", which isn't the driving wheel and links the independent suspension, as a result that NEMO can be more flexible and used more conveniently.

POPSMichelin Challenge Design Gallery 2006 My design is named tyre cell, it is also a kind of product used for vehicle transportation. It looks like a ball and contains one tire, a brake device, a pair of electric driving motors, a suspension, a tire rotating system (similar to tank turret) and a control unit. It can be considered an integrated single wheel chassis. Tyre cell uses electricity to work and is controlled by a vehicle computer using an electricity signal, so it's clean and has zero emission. Tyre cell is general-purposed built and can be mounted on a motorcycle or a car. This makes the manufacture maintain and upgrade the vehicle more convenient.

POPSMichelin Challenge Design Gallery 2006 The power house of this little-junk is a light weight and compact generator (a 200hp motor coupled with a 1-litr rotary engine). Still the ingenuous idea is the powertrain which is the most compact ever designed. It actually has a motor and the gearbox combined and cramped into the wheel itself. This is possible due to the small and a compact gearbox made of planetary gears.

POPSMichelin Challenge Design Gallery 2006 The concept "NUGGET" is based on the GM "AUTONOMY" platform that provides propulsion and powertrain in a flat skateboard chassis. Forward-looking fuel cell technology and the drive-by-wire concept give me a maximum playroom in exterior and interior design. The exterior design puts emphasis on the wheel motors and tyres as well as the cabin for the occupants. In 2020 car design needs new images. Due to a more and more flexible society "NUGGET" is abele to react on different driving situations and different ways of utilization. For each situation Nugget creates a new image and alters his appearance. The cabin provides space for two occupants and is able to move linear upon the platform from a front to a center position. The centered position lowers the air drag coefficient and the center of gravity and allows highest driving performance. Additionally it offers an extended crutch zone in the rear and front areas. Brought to the front the cabin can be moved radially into an uprigh

POPSMichelin Challenge Design Gallery 2006 Éclair from French means lightning and I choose this name because it is powered by an electric hybrid system. It is a result of research and development work for the inadequate approach to the vehicle design presented by two prototypes. The aim of this project is for a wide usage of alternative and experimental materials for the interior and exterior design, adoptable and changeable space frame construction, and an electric generator for the power plant (hybrid electric system one which will generate the electricity and another which convert it from motion back, so it will be a close chain of electric flow). Another aspect of the concept is maximizing the role and performance of the tires by designing a unique system (all wheel drive, each wheel will be represented by twin wheel: one inside of another with motor will accelerate another with no axles). The tires will be made of reinforced silicon alloy to maximize durability, grip and performance, withstanding high and low temperatur
