Dacia Shift 2012 By Liviu Tudoran

One of the many designers who have started thinking about the future scenario wherein the space in the cities will be cramped, Liviu Tudoran has envisioned the Shift concept. The Compact, sleek yet aggressive vehicle is designed for the crowded city of Bucharest and is aimed for the younger generation (18-25years). The two-seater all electric vehicle is propelled by the lithium-ion batteries and is a small car that not only helps avoid the urban crowd but occupies less space on the road. Shift concept is made in the style and design of the new Dacia identity, and some of the car’s shapes are inspired by the famous architecture buildings. The electric engine is mounted at the front and hydrogen storage tanks are located with the rear wheels. The emission free two-seater electric car will be launched in 2012.
