Description of company/ product
|
The NARO fits between conventional car and motorcycles. Its dimensions 1m wide, 2.5m long and 1.7m tall make it an efficient user of road space, addressing the increasing problems of congestion, pollution and parking scarcity that our cities face. Carrying two passengers in tandem with full weather protection it is very stable through novel free leaning suspension and roll/steer control system. Low weight (350kg curb) and aero drag give ultra efficient with sub 50 g/km CO2 emission some 60 to 70% lower than today's cars. |
Key Selling points | IPR for the roll/steer control system combined with novel suspension design and vehicle concept make the product a strong investment opportunity. For our end customers, be it a commuter, or a despatch rider, or a taxi driver, we aim to provide an attractive and cost effective alternative to being near stationary in over congested cities, polluting the atmosphere in cars/vans that were designed to carry 4 or 5 people and far greater loads.
The environmental impact will be city transport with CO2 output between a third and a half of today's vehicles at introduction and in the longer term a low energy platform that will pave the way for the emerging Hydrogen fuelled or electric power units |
Looking for: | Investment partners to take equity in the company to move forward to production of the city commuter Licensees to take the design and IP to produce the taxi and despatch versions of the vehicle concept. |
Patent Status: | European patent progressing through the final stages of review at the European Patent Office for the roll/steer control system Patent no 06251444.3 |
Potential Markets/ outlets | UK, Europe, India, Far East and North America Three applications as Commuter, single passenger taxi and a light delivery van. |
