The prototype hybrid "Clever". ( BBC ) A tiny three wheeled vehicle can help tackle traffic jams in the cities that have just been displayed at the University of Bath, UK.
The Clever prototype has a width of 1 meter and produces less pollution than conventional vehicles. It reaches a top speed of 100 km / h and uses a new tilt chassis system that is safer and more mobile.
This two-seater is the result of a 40-month research project, conducted by researchers from nine European countries. The £ 1.5m project aims to create a completely new personal motorcycle and is specifically designed for use in urban areas.
" The only solution for cities today is motorcycles or cars." Our idea is to unify the small size and efficiency of a motorcycle with the convenience and safety of a car. steam standards ", Ben Drew, a specialist at the University of Bath said.

The new car looks like its brother, not long ago, the Sinclair C5. However, Clever cars are potentially more popular than Clive Sinclair's. The new prototype shown in Bath is just a metal chassis, but the finished car will have a roof to help protect the car and passengers sitting back if an accident occurs.
Clever also uses natural compressed air, so it does not cause much smoke pollution. The new chassis allows it to tilt as it reaches the bends, similar to when people ride bicycles.
The new prototype can not be launched right away, but researchers hope car companies can build on this idea, and that the new design could pave the way for the introduction of a new car. cities, intermediaries between motorcycles and cars.
