Eco Cars: Peugeot Globule shape-shifting electric car truly adapts to its surroundings

Eco Factor: Concept car designed to run on electric motors.
Designed by Ahmad Moslemi Far, the Peugeot Globule is made up of four separate parts, each with the capacity of one passenger and powered by an electric motor, and these parts are connected together to a centralized battery system. These four parts are contained in a very flexible polymer covering, which holds the parts and their connections together.

This vehicle is able to move in different arrangements. In order to go through a narrow path, it can arrange its parts as a line to become narrower. Peugeot Globule can park in a 130 cm x 130 cm space by arranging its parts on top of each other. The driver’s part is the only one in contact with the ground. In this state the vehicle can move with a very low speed and takes up a very small parking space.

By eliminating a lot of connections and related parts, the created structure reduces production costs. This vehicle is actually similar to a living creature with the ability to change its general shape according to the environment.





The head and tail lights of the car are able to change forms with the vehicle and are very flexible. By adding more spherical parts, a user can increase the vehicle’s capacity, and since every spherical part has an electrical motor in it, there wouldn’t be any problems related to power.
