Individual Micro-Mobility Concept

This project explores a unique vehicle architecture designed to address the evolving needs of individual and micro-mobility solutions. At a time when the dominant belief was that robotaxis and autonomous driving would lead to increased carpooling, we questioned this assumption and anticipated the opposite effect—a growing desire for personalized, individual transportation. This concept redefines commuting by centering the design around the occupant while also considering ways to reduce traffic congestion and optimize vehicle space usage. By challenging industry assumptions, this project merges comfort, safety, and design innovation to create a visionary step forward in micro-mobility, shaping the future of personal transportation. It integrates Faurecia’s expertise in advanced seating solutions to enhance comfort, accessibility, and safety, offering a fresh perspective on the evolving mobility landscape.
