The Riversimple car is supposed to look at the whole issue of people transport. Most journeys don't carry 5 people so why carry all the baggage of 5 seats? Most journeys are short and relatively slow speed so why produce a car that does 80mph? Regardless of the top speed, the car has been designed to be as slippery as possible and, in tests, proved to have one of the lowest levels of aerodynamic and rolling drag on the road. And then there is the obsolescence that car manufacturers build in - this vehicle was conceived, top to bottom, for maximum life.
We have to rethink transport, not just replace the engine. This is what Riversimple is all about.
