Orca - design of urban electric car

 

Orca is a concept of an urban electric car. The vehicle is designed primarily for short to medium distance usage, to which corresponds the size of the vehicle, the type of propulsion, the energy storage systems and most importantly the design. The concept is based on the author's reflections and ideas on the future of automotive design in the short term (10-15 years): the vehicle is still considered the owner's jewel, however, it will use advanced environmental technologies and it will be capable of autonomous operation. Furthermore, the driving pleasure remains due to the possibility of manual control. The vehicle is moreover equipped with a nanoflowcell system. This system is based on the reaction of two electrolytes, which are on saltwater basis. For this reason, the inspiration for this project was sought in the underwater world, in the organic and in nanostructures. Additionally, the design was influenced by the author's positive attitude to minimalism. The result of which is a dynamic, futuristic design that emphasizes technology and does not lack emotion. The dominant side view is complemented by a distinctive, simply shaped front part, which completes the timeless character of the electric vehicle.
