Do you know that based on research, the collapsible transport chairs are difficult for the uninitiated to open or close ? And by horizontally stacking the chairs, space-saving is increased by a third and the chairs are always ready to use. Based on that goal and the high volume patients in a Mega Hospital, Aaron Daley designed “Levo” to address the need for conspicuous storage and intuitive usage.
Levo also removes the traditional mechanical adjustments such as the collapsible footrests and replacing them with a single foot platform, which make Levo becomes a safer and more intuitive experience. The platform serves as both a leg-lifter and a brake, thus eliminating the need for unnecessary bending. This benefits the patient and the attendant pushing the chair.

The cities are getting overpopulated, which mean the problem of parking is getting worst. City[zen] vehicle concept is trying to help solving that problem plus the combination of comfortable driving in different styles. City[zen] can adapt to various drive conditions because it has en engine-body transformation system. The car?s transformation system is based on mechanical parts without any robotic systems. City[zen] can change its body position according to speed and the situation on the road.

Car on stick as your future urban transport. Those bubble-shaped cars are powered by solar canopies on the roof, very fascinating imagination isn’t it? At night, the bubble cars are stored atop telescopic poles, we can use parked vehicles to provide illumination to the city at night. There is no need for a driver, because these cars are controlled by satellite and GPS navigation, consist of four seats for four passengers sit in circular fashion.

The car industry realized that they need to pay more attention to the serious demand of green vehicles. And in 2008, I’m pretty sure that we’ll see plenty of new concepts and vehicles that will change the way we move around.
Loremo LS is based on the concept that by reducing weight, one can increase the fuel efficiency of the vehicle. Safety is not a problem, the company is confident that the steel cell construction method provides the vehicle with a solid rigidity and enough of a deformation area for it to be safe to drive around the city. The design of the Loremo impresses. It has a very unique body shape, giving it clear individuality. Furthermore, rather than having two side doors for the drivers to enter the vehicle, there is a front wing door which swings upwards and to the front, allowing access to the vehicle.

To address the increasing verticality of urban centers and the zero impact mentality, Natalie Bonebrake started by raising the transport of the terrain thus removing its footprint. The vehicle hangs from a magnetic levitation track; this removes the need for the vehicle to have an on-board power source eliminating localized emissions, except for the electromagnetic radiation and dramatically lightening the vehicle. There is also an option for a drive train for tracking use.
Once in the pod, a destination is entered and the rail system powers the pod through the city along the appropriate route. This allows the users the comfort of taxi or subway but without all the waiting and expensive fairs.Alone the pod allows the users to travel effortlessly through the city, but once connected to the chassis it becomes even more dynamic! This system allows the user to enjoy the freedom of having a car without all the responsibilities of having a car!
