Ok everyone, Time to do some sketches. Jern Claus and I have decided to design a car for the company Aixam. Aixam is a French automobile manufacturer based in Aix-les-Bains, Savoie. It was founded in 1983 to make microcars.

heres the Wiki link: [link]

Here is the customer we are targeting.

Us! What would we want in the year 2020?

I want to see a wide array of sketches. Please upload them to your profiles by friday. I hope this is enough time for you guys.

Specs:

Hyrdogen Power plant

Why have I chose hydrogen? One reason is because I think electric is not the answer to our environmental problems. Electric batteries are too expensive to produce and take up too much of earths precious resources. The rare materials that electric batteries require are really hard to find and are hazardous to human health. Disposing of them is also hazardous to the environment.

If you guys disagree I want to hear why. I really want you guys to oppose me on this actually, I want to hear what you have to say.

Remember guys Sketches by Friday!

Go TEam!
