NEW DELHI, Oct 27: Taking electric mobility to the next level, BASF, the world’s leading chemical company, has unveiled the ‘smart forvision’, a concept car at the Indo-German URBAN MELA here.
It coincides with its theme of Sustainable Urbanisation. Jointly developed by BASF and Daimler, it combines futuristic design with innovative technologies in the areas of energy efficiency, lightweight design and temperature management. The ‘smart forvision’ is the perfect vehicle for showcasing new technologies.
Through Daimler’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 researchers and designers intentionally realised a mixture of visionary materials and technologies in the concept vehicle – some of these are still at a laboratory stage while others have a realistic chance of entering series production. ‘Smart forvision’ was first showcased at the 2011 International Motor Show in Frankfurt.
BASF, the world’s largest supplier of chemical products to the automotive industry, develops sustainable, environmentally friendly solutions for the energy-efficient mobility of tomorrow.
The two companies combined their technological competencies for the first time, developing a forward-looking vehicle concept that offers decisive solutions to the challenges of the future.
Transparent organic solar cells, transparent organic light-emitting diodes, all-plastic wheels, new lightweight body components and infrared-reflective films and coatings all help to reduce the vehicle’s energy consumption and so increase its range and practicality.
