Think Chicks Will Dig This?
Clever(Compact Low Emission VEhicle for URban Transport)is part of the Clevel Project
Clever-Project.net has this to say about its sleek concept :
"Vehicle concept:
The smallest and most economical mass-produced vehicles (for example Smart Diesel) have an engine that developed 30 kW and a kerb weight of approx. 800 kg, combined with a front-end surface area of approx. 2.2 m2. Their CO2 emissions are around 100 g/km.
The CLEVER vehicle is designed to halve these values, in other words it should develop approx. 15 kW, have a kerb weight of 400 kg and a front-end surface area of approx. 1m2 with CO2 emissions of less than 60 g/km.
To achieve the emissions targets a CNG (compressed natural gas) engine is used and the body consists of a lightweight aluminium chassis with a plastic shell and the front-end surface area is reduced by a 1+1 seat constellation (one behind the other).
As a result of the low width of the vehicle (less than one metre), it has been designed to tilt as it corners so as to provide plenty of stability round bends and to provide a driving experience similar to a motorcycle"
