These are the interiors of the Nissan Land Glider leaning EV (top), the T25 city car concept from Gordon Murray Design and the Renault Twizzy (bottom). All three feature a single seat up front.
As the population shifts to megacities with all the congestion, pollution and energy issues that will arise, the search for smaller,
narrower less energy intensive personal transport solutions will intensify. Instead of widening roads at huge expense, the solution will be to squeeze more vehicles into existing road and parking space.
They are not the first of course, there are hundreds of CityEl EVs on the roads in Germany, whilst the Myers, the Lumeneo Smera, the SEV (Space Efficient Vehicle) and the Tango prototypes spring to mind as well. It is only a matter of time before we realise that shifting huge chunks of metal with one occupant makes no sense and match our vehicles to our behaviour and the environment we live in.
Keep an eye on VW and Audi, who are also developing single and two seat urban cars.
