Rinspeed is a Swiss company known for developing highly creative solutions related to urban transportation, and this time Frank M. Rinderknecht, boss of Rinspeed, wants to "revolutionize short-distance transport" through the creation of the microMAX.
With 3.6 meters long it has the same length of a Mini, and with a height of 2.2 meters has space for the driver, three passengers and a stroller or shopping cart. The passengers are transported in comfortable and space-saving upright seats equipped with safety belts so they can enter and exit the car in a faster manner.
The interior can be fitted with a coffee maker, a refrigerator for the passenger's happy-hour drinks and unlimited connectivity for entertainment purposes or for working while on the move are also included.
And of course the microMAX is an all-electric vehicle with the possibility to equip with various modules, for example for craftsmen or delivery services.
