It wouldn't be the Tokyo Motor Show without one of these extremely Japanese forays into the bizarre, right? All the ingredients are there: single-person trans-pods with pastel interiors, all-caps acronyms, and a geometric, omnidirectional "mothership" to haul them around. This sustainable mobility concept is called PIXY + SSC. PIXY is Suzuki's low-speed, three-wheeled, single-passenger runabout. Two PIXYs can be driven into an SSC (Suzuki Sharing Coach), a hexagonal vehicle that resembles the downtown Miami Metromover or any number of intra-airport people mover systems. Once loaded with two PIXYs, the SSC acts as a car, transporting the pair to another location together. It looks like the lead PIXY operator becomes the driver of the SSC, whose side trim and corner markers are then illuminated in red to denote which end of the symmetrical vehicle is the rear.

direi mezzi che paiono pronti per la concessionaria.....

mi paiono due spermatozoi che escono dal cazz....

Carino... le ultime due immagini ovviamente sono ipotesi di espansione delle possibilità di trasporto, una addirittura sull'acqua.

Variazione sui concetti di mobilità personale, interessante.

Quanto mi piace il Salone di Tokyo...!!!

Cmq e' gia' il secondo concept dopo quello Toyota di 2 anni fa'..che propone il mono sedile in ridotte dimensioni....Il terzo...potrebbe essere defintivo..!!

tieni joe....scattata con queste mani al toyota megaweb a odaiba

In tema di trasporto singolo...Suzuki presenta anche questo concept...

Considerato che ci sono paesi dove circolano su strada centinaia di vecchietti su questi aggeggi ....e' da ritenersi oramai un segmento a se'...

Non mi piace molto lo stile...che però è attinente al mecato giapponese...niente male come proposta di mobilità "estesa" a 360 gradi.

"there's going to be a time when we all will be riding a white box, automatically driven from point A to point B [...] when safety will not be an issue anymore, as well as status as referred to the automotive market [...]"

Il mio prof di Strategic Management 702, gennaio 1998. Lui si lamentava degli acquisti per "status" e "marchio" dei nuovi suv europei (MB M e Bmw X) che non erano alll'altezza perchè non avevano "towing capacity" (capacità di traino) per andare a pesca al lago :D:D
