minimodal by hybrid product design
“the minimodal is a taxi design concept designed specifically for the city of new york. the vehicle features a very unusual design that is small and light and uses a hybrid-power system. the two-person passenger cab is low to the ground and features side windows and a fully open skylight. the driver sits in front of an all glass front end and on top of the hybrid engine. the car would also have a signaling system that would let other drivers know when a passenger was coming out to avoid collisions. the designers at hybrid product design also envisioned two larger versions of the taxi to accommodate more passengers. the maximodal would seat 3 and a wheelchair and the mogulmodal would seat four plus a wheelchair.”
