Daihatsu revealed at the Japan Mobility Salon a new range of concepts, presenting the Vision Copen, which embraces the identity of a “compact sports convertible.” But the Toyopta group brand also did not deviate from the “unavoidable kei cars,” typically Japanese vehicles designed for the city, as evidenced by the curious me:MO – one of four prototypes presented under the theme “redefining the relationship between cars and people.”
With only 2,955 mm in length, 1,475 mm in width, and 1,590 mm in height, the Daihatsu me:MO is a modular electric city car that can be customized with a huge variety of 3D-printed parts. The Japanese car manufacturer’s proposal is to offer complete freedom for personalizing the two-door vehicle, which can change styles as many times as the owner desires.
The modular system for interior and exterior components of the me:MO not only allows for the creation of new body configurations, resulting in unique designs, but also the manufacturing of parts for the cabin, with styles and shapes that suit different stages of life. Although not particularly spacious, with less than 2.0 meters between axles, this mini EV can vary between a single-seat configuration for individual trips or incorporate additional seats for a family-oriented environment.
