Peugeot XB1
It’s 2025. Cities have outgrown themselves, shifting mobility as we know it. Public transportation is more efficient than ever (ok, maybe it’s 2225), but car use is limited to long distance travel outside urban districts. Q: How do you make those short distance travels that are too long to walk? A: The Peugeot XB1. Ok, so it might just be hypothetical, but can we start getting ready, please? If for nothing else, just so we can zip around town on this cute, human size, wheeled exoskeleton reminiscent of Johnny-5?
Designers: Thierry Fischer, Kevin Biolluz, Karim Bennani, Frederic La Sciellour
The fully electric Peugeot XB1 was designed for premium services in a big society. It features a user-friendly interface, GPS integration, smart phone applications, and a top speed of 35 km/hr.

And the American obesity rate increases exponentially…
Dario says
Nifty! But don’t we already have bicycles to solve this problem? Doesn’t get any greener than that!

Ill admit though there are some nice styling cues. its also a very nice render style, maybe less lens flare im having flash backs to early photoshop.

An essential pre-cursor for Wall-E has been envisioned. Soon, intergalactic cruises with all-you-can buffets.
On a more serious note, a powered vehicle with no weather protection has extremely limited uses.
Cheers,

what about rain? dont you get wet? or in 2025 it dosnt rain?
thierry says
” fully electric Peugeot XB1 was designed for premium services in a big society” it's written! The goal is to design a vehicle lighter than the Toyota and and add a rain protection will increase the weight…
thierry says
And if I read some comments, The motor bikes and scooters does exist and are used for worker travels even if it's rain or not…
A more confortable and safety and faster segway with a professional service… Even if you re not agree, there is a market for that
Julien says
Thierry, accept the comments about your project, this is not the best one you can do i think … this product already existe, you don't imagine something awesome with that, because it's just a smaller version of something existing. What's your final evaluation in RP3 ?
C'est un peu dommage que l'ISD laisse encore passer ce genre de choses, ce n'est pas contre toi, mais si j'tais membre du jury, a ne passerai pas du tout … La 3D ne suffit pas, ce sont de belles images, mais le reste est vide. En plus, c'est vous qui avez envoy ce sujet Yanko non ? Ca manque clairement d'argumentaire pour mieux comprendre si il existe un rel intrt ce sujet.
Bonne continuation tout de mme… !

Ne me fait pas dire ce que je n'est pas dis! Ce XB1 est un concurrent des vhicules cits plus haut auquel nous avons ajout un service et une interaction utilisateur. Le reste n'est que exercice de style

You need to think about your values and society when designing something like this… what kind of designer are you? the one who only looks at immediate pleasure or the one who sees over improvements and tries to make a radical change?
Money is everywhere… as well as great 3D modeling experts. Good design is not about doing things that look great (by the way, it looks nice) but understanding what are you doing to the people that will interact with them. You, unlike other professionals, has the responsibility to place Industrial Design in the concept of great thinkers not great 3D modeling guys…
We always ask for a better society… and design is about decisions. Think about how your designs will affect everyone everywhere… think about the impact of your decisions.

waw cool design, hope i can get it here so i can go anywhere like that, cannot wait to see it's coming true
What? says
Sorry but this is unoriginal, toyota already made a prototype like this back in 2005 or 2006…
Cool work, but the idea doesnt have nothing original.
ringo says
