2011 smart forvision concept is a unique car which is also displayed at Frankfurt International Motor Show this year. On the show, this car can attract many people because of this unique style. It makes the 2011 smart forvision concept become one of suitable car to increase the confidence of its driver.
This car is quite small compared to common car.
The joint concept vehicle smart forvision presented at the 2011 International Motor Show in Frankfurt combines a futuristic design with technologies relating to energy efficiency, lightweight design and temperature management.
In addition to transparent organic solar cells, transparent and energy-saving light-emitting diodes and infrared-reflective films and coatings, high-performance foams are used for insulation against cold and heat. Thanks to the combination of smart's automotive expertise and BASF's material and system competence a vehicle has been created which showcases technologies for sustainable and holistic electric mobility of the future.
The hexagonal transparent areas on the roof of the smart forvision are an eye-catching feature - as the first light-transmitting roof that also generates energy. The transparent dyes of the solar cells are light-activated.
The multifunctional, comfortable and lightweight seats in the smart forvision offer a unique combination of efficient temperature management and an energy-saving lightweight design.
Compared with conventional climate-controlled seats the lightweight seat in the smart forvision does not have the complexity and energy requirement of mechanical ventilation.
As a large amount of energy is needed to air condition and heat a vehicle, temperature management was a key focus area for the smart and BASF researchers.
An important side effect: the colour white reflects heat rays from sun and light particularly well.
Painted in pearl white and accentuated by the tridion safety cell coated with a copper-coloured liquid metal paint, there is a deliberate connection between the basic structure of the smart forvision and the design of the smart fortwo. The lights add to the likeable expression of the smart forvision.
The smart forvision not only shows that electric mobility can make emission-free driving possible.
