VALUES
Wood
Trees are growing literally anywhere on planet. Wood is most natural and carbon emission free material to build a vehicles.
Over the years wood technologies has developed to provide strength and durability close to metal, aluminum and composite materials.
Wood is only material with negative CO2 footprint, since it encapsulating carbon in process of growing.
Open Source
Power of community of DIYers, Makers, Researchers as contributors of innovation and progress is undeniable. Automotive industry is closed and proprietary to slow down innovation implementation.
Open Design
Unleash the power of community and end-users to design vehicle bodies they really need, not relying on the automotive industry. University students has a great power to introduce revolutionary concepts of vehicle uses and bodies.
Micromobility
