Future Transport Vehicle 2045

As a topic for my diploma thesis, I decided to propose several predictions for the year 2045 and to develop one of them. I defined four possible directions for four-wheel vehicles. Three of them are more conventional. Such kinds of cars are usually proposed by students and automotive brands. I call them 1st Conventional, 2nd Natural evolution and 3rd Mobility room. I, however, wanted to suggest something completely different with a driving-focused feeling. The last 4th group is, therefore, called Dreams and it is the chosen area for this thesis. I named my project ŠKODA ME. The concept is based on an X-shaped platform part and a separate individual dress which you can use like a backpack, chair or you can plug it into the platform. The dress is body-specific and it is produced as a unique part. The fidelity of ŠKODA ME is approximately between a sculpture and a concept study. I wanted to make the design credible and proportional. Diploma thesis was done in cooperation with ŠKODA AUTO.
