Go!Bus Double Decker By Ruben Oya

 A journey with friends is always a joy ride. This design by Ruben Oya is extremely interesting and looks like fun too. It is a double-decker that can accommodate 7 seven people. It has a transparent deck where you can enjoy the sites in the safety of your wonder vehicle. The only advise would be to stock up on fuel because getting lost in some God forsaken place will not be pretty. Especially if you are seen in an overly colourful moving cabin! The design also includes seats and beds to sleep in. interesting

Bufalino – One Person Camper By Cornelius Comanns

 An RV does not necessarily have to be huge; this design convinced us about that. A home-on-wheels can be incorporated into a vehicle as small as a rickshaw too, and designer Cornelius Comanns has show us just how with the three wheeled Bufalino. The vehicle is reminiscent of a rickshaw and was designed by the German industrial designer to provide for a compact way to travel with all the essential needs of comfort. The camper includes a cooking area, loads of storage area, and a foldable sleeping area and is great for the solitary traveler. Integrating all this into a Piaggio APE 50, this one is fuel efficient and economic too.
It also boasts a refrigerator, a basin and the back opens up to provide for a clothes-drying area. A perfect vehicle to take out camping, this one beats the use of a multi-axel RV!

Citroen Tricycle

 A lot of research has gone into this project. The designers had to go through a series of marketing documentation in order to understand thoroughly the car brand Citroën. Through all the work they found our that the car brand had some values they wanted to express but could not and so they sat and made up a design of an electric tricycle that apparently defines the missing values. It is like a cycle but is a tricycle with a heated saddle, electric engine and a lock on the handle bar as well as a basket up front.


Light in Motion Concept By Marcel Zuziak

 Cars are getting an overhaul every day. The bulky drives are being swapped into compact and light vehicles so that they don’t consume much space while parking or moving on the road. Bringing the charm of this concept on the road is Marcel Zuziak, who has designed the Light in Motion concept.
 This cute looking car is a three-wheel drive. It measures 3215mm in length, 1550mm in height and is 1790mm wide. The rear of this car is pointed while the front is round and looks quite curved. This two-seater vehicle is an electric drive.
 Its rear wheel built-in electromotor is 150kW (201hp) and has a 300 Nm of torque. The lightweight car can jump from 0-100km/h in 3.6 seconds. The facade has clean cuts and has been made to look glossy. The car’s minimalistic designing makes it eye-appealing and its novel shape will definitely make it stand out of the crowd

Biona electric bike

 With the consumption of non-renewable sources of energy at a fast pace, one has to look for alternatives before they get exhausted. But it seems that the electric engines are all geared up to replace the traditional gasoline pumped engines. This will ensure that the perishable sources of energy exist for a longer time. The electric driven vehicles are a step forward towards saving the deteriorating environment as well. Keeping all these factors in mind, Jordi Poblet has designed an electric motorcycle named Biona. This urban electric driven vehicle has minimalistic designing and will make you travel from one place to the other without polluting the environment.


The designing is novel and Biona has been crafted out of greener materials. This light-weight bike incorporates fresh technology and will make sure you ride in style that too the green way. So, if you are a nature lover and motorcycles are your weakness, then Biona is definitely going to win you over.

Virgin Oceanic Submarine



Not everyone has the dream of flying high in the skies; some take it to the deepest depths of the sea. Sir Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group of companies, has now revealed his plans to explore the deepest spots in each of the five oceans. Sir Branson, along with American sailor and explorer Chris Welsh and submarine designer Graham Hawkes, has launched the Virgin Oceanic, a project to explore the last frontiers of our own Blue Planet: the very bottom of our seas. They intend to hit the deepest depths using the Virgin Oceanic’s flying submarines. For the dives, Virgin oceanic will use the DeepFlight Challenger submersible built by Hawkes Ocean Technologies of Point Richmond, Calif.




Five Dives, Five Oceans, Two Years, One Epic Adventure

The Virgin Oceanic project proposes journey to the five deepest parts of each of Earth’s five oceans in 2011 and 2012. The first dive is planned to reach the deepest place on the planet i.e. the bottom of the Mariana Trench, which is roughly 11 kilometers straight down. The subs will hit the Mariana Trench (Pacific), Puerto Rico Trench (Atlantic), Diamantina Trench (Indian), South Sandwich Trench (Southern), and Molloy Deep (Arctic).



Interestingly, the second dive, planned to hit the bottom of the Puerto Rico Trench (the deepest in the Atlantic), will be piloted by Sir Richard Branson himself. They have even partnered with Google to assist with the charting and mapping of the sea floor during the missions.

On the launch of Virgin Oceanic, Sir Richard Branson said…

“What if I were to tell you about a planet, inhabited by ‘intelligent’ beings that had, in the 21st Century, physically explored 0% of its deepest points and mapped only 3% of its oceans by unmanned craft, when 70% of that planet’s surface was made up of water.

Then I tried to convince you that only 10% of the life forms inhabiting that unknown world, are known to those on the surface – you’d think I’d fallen asleep watching the latest sci-fi blockbuster! Then you discover that planet is Earth… ”



Virgin Oceanic Flying Sub

Sir Richard’s close friend and adventurer Steve Fossett, who had plans to complete first solo dive to the depths of the Mariana Trench, originally commissioned the Virgin Oceanic submarine. Now, Sir Richard intends to finish what his friend had dreamt of. Designed by Graham Hawkes, the flying submersible resembles a dolphin, and is made from 8,000 pounds of carbon fiber and titanium. It boasts an operating depth of 37,000 feet (7 miles) and is capable to operate independently for 24 hours.

The Virgin Oceanic Flying Sub has been designed to survive enormous pressures, 1500 times than that of an airplane. The sub can fly up to 10km over the ocean floor, travel at a maximum of three knots and can dive at 350 feet per minute. This sub also has a mothership, which is a 125′ racing catamaran.



Sir Richard Branson says…

Virgin Oceanic will expand the reach of human exploration on our planet. By promoting and utilizing new technology, Virgin Oceanic will aid human kind’s ability to explore our Oceans, assist science in understanding our eco system and raise awareness of the challenges facing our Oceans.

Physalia Floating Garden By Vincent Callebaut



The Physalia, inspired from “Physalia physalis”, is a whale-shaped design from Vincent Callebaut Architects. It is a greatest creation combining the nature and the biotechnologies because it can float on rivers and purify water without generating emissions.


This floating garden is 80m in length, 14.9m in width and 11.4m in height, accounting a surface area of 2000 square meters. The roof contains a double pneumatic membrane chiselled with smooth photovoltaic solar cells. Under its hull, the hydro-turbines transform the energy of the fluvial stream in hydro-electricity and enable to adjust the soft navigation. Its surface is made of aluminium, covering the multi-hull steel structure. This silver-plated dress is covered by a TiO2 layer that can reduce the water pollution by reacting with UV rays. Actually, in addition to being a self cleaning vessel, it enables to absorb and recycle by photo-catalytic effect, the chemical and carboned waste from the fluvial water rejected by the traditional boats and by industrialists. Moreover, the project is crossed in its double hull by a hydraulic network that enables to filter the fluvial water and to purify it biologically thanks to its planted roof.

The interior of Physalia can be divided into four thematic gardens named water, fire, earth and air. They are dedicated respectively to every four elements bringing by symbiosis their typical aspect and complementarily to the final assembling of an amphibious global landscape.
If available, it will be navigated on the main extra-European rivers between Danube and Volga, between Rhine and Guadalquivir, or also between Euphrate and Tiger. As a purifying tool, this whale will be attractive enough.

ENLACE Modular Bicycle By Lim Zheng Wei



Riding a bicycle is always a pleasant experience especially with a group of friends. But at times it becomes a little difficult to ride parallel to each other and there is always a fear of smashing into each other while talking. Also the same color of the bicycle can be quite a dull sight every single day. Changing all such notions is ENLACE designed by Lim Zheng Wei which will make sure that your trips on a bicycle are interesting enough.


The bicycle comes with an outer casing that can be changed when desired. If someday you want your bike to look red or blue, simply change the outer case and give it a fresh look. Coordinate it with your outfit or according your mood, the colors will always make your bike look smart. Exploiting the shaft technology is this modular bike which can be easily coupled with a second bicycle. For a great and secure tandum side-by-side manner the bicycles can be fixed together with three main joints: the front steering, the back joint which is sited at the back wheel of the inner frame and the front joint that is positioned at the front of the outer frame. With the tandum side-by-side mode, you can talk to your friends endlessly without the fear of colliding into each other.

ENLACE will make bicycle rides enjoyable and also make sure you don’t get bored with the same skin color of the bike.

Designed by Jay Brett, the SUB G1 is a three-wheeled contraption that combines motorcycle and technology with a driving experience. The vehicle uses two wheels on the front axle while the third wheel keeps the G1’s backside from scraping the ground. The headlights rest in the nose like front of the G1 with the indicators attached near the front wheels. Oh, and this certainly isnt a vehicle you can enjoy a family drive with. It has just one seat.

Apache FM1


At the first instance, it may seem like a wrecked car emerging from a disastrous accident. However, according to the designer, this is the final form (and we must believe him) of the Apache FM1 concept vehicle, a two-seater trike, whose style – in my book – borders on the lines of being bold and bizarre. Inspired by the famous AH-64 Apache helicopter, this conception would definitely make heads turn on the road.


Contrived by designer Senni Med from Morocco, the body comes with front grille bar ornamented with the traditional ‘X’, and a logo representing FuturmeDesign. The polished aluminum surface makes way for the tapering upper part, thus making that conspicuous angle finally culminating at the outwardly bending magnetic wheels.

The blatantly angled curves carry over to the capriciously shaped headlights and the panoramic windscreen. The overall ‘chaos of alignments’ may impart that wickedly aggressive demeanor of the vehicle, but for purists it just may be too much of being bohemian. Still one cannot deny the novelty of a design, which is uniquely inspired by the form of a helicopter.

Ecco


Transportation scenario seems to transcend beyond ones imagination with complete fantasy cars been designed keeping an eye on the future. If anyone feels otherwise, he/she must have a look at “Ecco”, a concept car designed by Nau for hardcore technology freaks. This wacky camper is not just about speed and comfort but freedom. An automobile that zooms away when it hits the road and becomes a home equipped with requisite luxuries on can think of. If offers it all, ensuing, you don’t have to worry about accommodation and even fuel when you start on your voyage to any place in the world.


Ecco closely resembles a sperm or a tadpole with its sleek pod design that cuts back the wind resistance effectively, thereby, allowing the car to hover close to the ground. It is installed with a PV cell-studded “membrane roof” that folds out to capture maximum energy from the Sun and can be utilized as a sleeping loft. Ecco has all the facilities for extended living including a small kitchen, a living area, a toilet and shower. In addition, it also accommodates an extra bed 8 feet wide and 15 feet long into the space.

The exterior is aerodynamically designed using finest quality aluminum and glass, thus, is light in weight. Such unique design enables maximum utilization of the available energy. Being completely electrically-powered, Ecco doesn’t have any emission of its own making it highly eco-friendly and pollution free. Surely, this vehicle will transmogrify what automobiles and transportation has been all about.
