Rinspeed UC is full of emotions and ideas - which is the signature feature of all concept cars of the Swiss car visionary Frank M. Rinderknecht, who have added bright spots of light at the Geneva Motor Show for many years. Rinspeed boss Rinderknecht's always a surprise up his sleeve, and this year is no different. Once again, he did what anyone would have expected the young prodigy known in the past for his affinity for powerful machines: He built a small car. But that's not all: for the first time in the long history of its concept cars from the car and the Swiss central concept was developed not only a vehicle, but a concept of mobility. The beautiful two-seater with an electric motor and called by the Rinspeed UC means "traveler." But the biggest surprise is that the UC Rinspeed has been designed to be ready for mass production ahead. The little speedster is less than 2.
60 meters long and is designed to help avoid traffic jams in city centers. Meanwhile, an advanced car loading will add the ability to cover long distances by train, comfortable, no traffic jams and stress free.
The goal is to create a new mobility concept, which combines individual ownership car and public transport. With a transverse load system allows custom railcars for loading and unloading of a large number of UC Rinspeed vehicles at the same time and in a very short period of time. The trains are booked and reserved online directly from the vehicle. Harman International to remain a 3G Internet access and great sound on wheels. VoIP2Car technology offers IP telephony, video chat, video conferencing, email and many more features Rinspeed UC.
Integrated charging stations on board custom motor coaches arrive at their destination at UC Rinspeed the battery is fully charged most of the region. During the train ride, motorists can visit the restaurant using a train of rail services, or to spend time in their cars in peace.
With this mobility concept Rinspeed elegant around the obstacle of limited use so far has kept many interested parties to turn to zero-emission vehicles. By Frank M. Rinderknecht he sees: "I can make more efficient use of my time than spending it works on a highway boring I'd rather visit the restaurant train or retirement to work in my car .." The visionary Switzerland is already in negotiations with the railways on its new international concept of mobility.
Anyone who puts the eyes of an elegant high-tech bubble for the first time reminded of the Fiat Topolino in the '30s and '50s. This is a lovely car design. Rinspeed boss Frank M. Rinderknecht: "Rinspeed UC is a new and very emotional, a web-based car in the world is intertwined personal and public transportation in a reasonable way we want to create a community of people who are open to the new definition of mobility.."
As in previous years, the concept car was built by Swiss engineering ESOR. The light vehicle produces 130 Nm of torque, has a top speed of 120 km / h and has a range of 105 km. It's more than enough for most of the traffic in urban areas. Statistics show that in Europe, 82 percent of all trips to cover distances of less than 60 km - distance by car is undoubtedly the vast majority of all traffic individually.
Rinspeed at UC also includes a series of specifications: Flying Farewell, hello joystick force feedback. The new joystick technology provided by German electronics expert Rafi. Rinderknecht says: "Forget everything you learned about the game controllers so far Finally, this system offers improved steering feel and feedback on the road .." The car went through the unity of space, a drive-by-wire technology, developed by Paravan, one of the main vehicles of Handicap. Rinspeed and its partners was to manage the challenges surrounding the electric-drive system: lithium-ion batteries are Li-Tec Battery in Germany, a joint venture between Daimler AG and Evonik. A train for an efficient and reliable expert Absa charger, external battery charger is available in place of ABB Sécheron. Axpo Holding is yet another energy company, working with Rinspeed for this project.
