Tai Chiem
Movito

Tai Chiam's 'Movito' is a fully electric scooter designed for the dense urban landscape of the future. This environmentally sound vehicle utilizes an in-wheel motor and rechargeable batteries. The architecture of the scooter is completely overhauled allowing for a fresh and innovative design approach. Inspired by the sweeping curves found in nature combined with hard elements of industrial materials, Movito expresses lightness and movement. Packed with added convenience such as GPS, touch screen interface and helmet storage, Movito is classy and sexy, appealing to free spirited individuals.

Takumer Homma
Echelon Concept

As more young people today seek independence, they are often validated and respected when asked to visualize themselves as successful and responsible adults in future years. The attitudes of this young generation of people are mostly influenced by their parents and peers as well as the resources that are available to them. The Echelon concept is one of the resources that will influence motivated individuals to challenge themselves in a new world.

Dolly Yansen
The Arrow

The Arrow, designed by Dolly Yansen, is a single-seat high-speed vehicle designed for one core purpose: to enhance the excitement and enjoyment of driving. Accentuated by its two-tone paint scheme, with plum colored paint covering the front fenders and rear haunches, the white colored body evokes an airplane fuselage and its pointed front end is seemingly from where its name is derived.

Chris Simmons
Futuris 4NE1

Chis Simmons wants to end the days of bolt-down automotive seating and the configurability restrictions that they encompass. With his Futuris 4NE1 concept, presenting ‘Automotive Seating for Elderly and Disabled Passengers' Simmons has turned age and disability from pessimistic to innovative and optimistic. The Futuris 4NE1 develops a vehicle seating concept designed for council operated Community Care buses with aspirations of applying it to public transportation in the near future. Made from strong, lightweight and easy to manufacture ­materials, this design will be affordable to the wider community. The way in which it glides down from a roof tracking system allows free floor space to prevent tripping and a variety of different seating layouts.
