Bikash
Choudhury
Just very recently I moved from a two wheeler to an SUV out
of business necessity than to keep up with the joneses. Found that it has
doubled my time in getting around a small city like Bhubaneswar
and put pressure on my daily schedule. I wish there were any short cut to
getting around the city in style while it should not be taxing in terms of time
consumed on the road. I cracked upon an Idea, apparently the time for which has
just arrived as city residents battered by traffic snarls daily. India
could design a slimmer four wheeler that occupies 65-75% of road space and fits
in chuffer and one passenger behind for traveling to office. This car could be
on a regular or a brand new plat form designed for the purpose that looks after
creature comforts of an office goer while providing safety, driving pleasure
and sits comfortably on the wallet in terms of buying price and subsequent
maintenance. These challenges can be addressed by simply fabricating a brand
new engine of 350-500 Cubic Capacity which could be driven with multiple fuels
like: fossil fuel, CNG, Solar and battery back up. The body cage could be
fabricated out of composite metals and there could be provisions for one door
in either side to access the car easily. This type of four wheeler could free
25-35% of road space that is getting dearer with each passing day and we hardly
find an answer to a street fight on minor road mishaps invariably each day on
some street corner. Unless, we fix our problem with the quality and quantity of
roads in the future; half a car Idea could be an alternative solution to an
extent but for a limited period of time.
