CLEVER – Compact Low Emisson Vehice for Urban Transport

The CLEVER (Compact Low Emission VEhicle for uRban transport) vehicle is a compact city vehicle for two with a tandem seat constellation developed at the Technical University of Berlin with subsidies of the European Union. The length is 3066 mm, the width is 998 mm and the height is 1388 mm. The gross weight is less than 400 kg.

The wheelbase is 2450 mm, the track width is 835 mm. At the front there is a 17″ wheel whilst at the rear there are two 18″ wheels. As a result of its low width the vehicle is designed to tilt when cornering and has a computer-controlled hydraulic rolling system which results in a driving experience with zero lateral forces at tilting angles of up to 45°, similar to riding a motorcycle.

Special attention has been given to the design and appearance of the vehicle. The new concept and the tilting cornering function are reflected in the vehicle’s design without following any fashions.
