Exciting Concept Cars for the future

Car designers are dreamers. Their dreams start with sketches and drawings, which further culminate in mockups and finally a roadworthy prototype.  But the ultimate recognition comes with the design going for commercialization and full production.

According to Fiat designers' the concept car is for high-tech millennials. This concept car is not at very eye-catchy aesthetically. It's large, boxy, and heavy looking. It can handle urban environments, but still requires human oversight.

Concept car Oasis is, even more, crazier concept. The car has a garden with radishes and Bonsai trees. In the car, the garden is tucked right behind the windshield. The car has a massive voice and gesture controlled touchscreen display. The car alerts you of upcoming obstacles with a heads-up display on the windshield. The concept envisions the vehicle being used on a ride-sharing basis.

 The future ahead - One million electric vehicles in by 2020

By 2020, German carmakers are planning to have one million electric cars running on the German roads. With USD 1.6 billion contributions, the German Government is supporting this initiative. With Industry and Government joining hands together, seems the German “electric mobility revolution” is all set to sweep. The ‘Electro Mobility Law’ in 2014 acted as a base for this revolution. Recently, Germany announcing the ban on gas-powered cars by 2013, announced that by 2030, all new cars have to be electric. The Daimler Group, which, among others, is the manufacturer of Mercedes Benz, recently, announced their plan to introduce electric powertrains across all brands. BMW also launched their electric vehicles. With such a strong alliance between the German government and the automotive industry, it appears that the electric mobility revolution is around the corner.
