Armadillo T – small car can fold itself
car manufacturer from South Korea, better said engineers from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have the first electric car designed and built that can be folded automatically and completely independently, as in the movie Transformers. The electric vehicle has been developed specially for large cities where parking is scarce, and the parking spaces are too small. With the Armadillo T the problem of “finding a parking space in cities” could soon be a thing of the past. A first prototype of the video shows how the small car transformed into a kind of turtle.
Armadillo T – This electric runabout folds up
There are ideas and concepts that the world needs and in turn even those that are totally unnecessary. The Armadillo T, which can occur as a direct competitor to the foldable Casple-Podadera you however not be so sure, because the new electric car from South Korea looks at first glance like a big toy car out plastic. Its unique feature is to fold, but if the order extends to the list of ideas that the world needs to move, I doubt for now. On the other hand, the idea of creation of parking spaces by reducing a car is actually not as bad as the front wheel of the car, it is also protected. Eenn one thinks one step further you could with a clever design and the whole car, like a tortoise shell, almost completely protected. Especially in winter, where frost and ice forming on the windows of a car, a tank could perform miracles and make the annoying scratching unnecessary.
A few specifications for mini electric car from South Korea
The current prototype of the Armadillo T weighs nearly 450 pounds. Full length of the ruler measures 2.7 meters. Once the car is folded saves you a whole meter. The battery that powers the two-seater is a 13.6 kWh lithium-ion battery, which should be fully charged within 10 minutes and the car accelerates to maximum 100 km / h. As a bonus, there are all sorts of South Korean gadgets like cameras back and sides, a touch display and air conditioning. The interior is well aware of plastic to save as much weight as possible. In the electric runabout Although cheap materials were used, but its unique feature makes up for a lot. Let’s hope that the South Korean carmaker go into a bit more detail, the Armadillo T could become a serious alternative to other mini-cars.
