Keeping with the vehicle theme for the moment, we like to keep pace with the design world especially transport, and came across these two proposals recently that cold not be more different.

The first is the Suzuki Crosscage moto. Based around a hydrogen cell for zero emissions, it’s certainly an interesting bit of design - using a mix of moto design technologies and concepts that appear every now and again in different gusies. What’s really interesting about it though is that Suzuki seem to have a running prototype.

On the other end of the scale is the Pivo 2, an electric car concept dropped on us by Nissan. While it has a host of ‘interesting’ design ideas we have to say it’s so ‘cutesy bubble gum’ in design that it make us (in anyway) want to puke. Where the Suzuki Crosscage makes one think, yea, we could ride that happily around town (impressive for an ‘alternative’ when considering that the moto market is so saturated with great, economical designs), the Pivo 2 makes us think that if that’s what’s install, then we are going to start processing cooking oil to keep the Vito running.
