Smart ForVision Revealed – 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show
The future of eco-driving is here thanks to SMART. The auto maker, known for tiny cars with a lot of spunk, revealed their Smart ForVision concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Combining compact design and green energy, ForVision might be the first of its kind. The lightweight material used to construct the vehicle is matted to the transparent organic solar cells on its roof, which “generate enough energy to power the multimedia components even in poor lighting conditions.” These cells have organic light-emitting diodes that illuminate the vehicle’s interior when a door is ajar.
Other additions to the vehicle are all light in weight: plastic wheels (at 6.6 pounds), carbon-fiber reinforced resin doors, plastic seats (with lightweight cushioning) and infrared-reflecting film on the windows.
