LiMo (Sustainable urban Living and Mobility Concept) is an innovative vehicle concept that (virtually) no longer needs a parking space because the vehicle ‘dissolves’ at its destination. It disassembles into its cabin and chassis modules. The cabin lifts off and docks onto its own home. The chassis virtually disappears because it can be parked to save space. The concept developed at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences consists of a multifunctional cabin that can not only be integrated into different transport systems (road, rail, elevated railway, cable car), but also offers a significant additional benefit in conjunction with the building, namely an extension of living space that can be used like a mini conservatory. If you want to be individually mobile, you can use an app to book a chassis that comes along autonomously and waits until the cabin and its occupants travel downwards via a sophisticated rail system, dock and head for the desired destination. LiMo has the potential to revolutionise urban mobility. It combines the advantages of a private car (its own passenger compartment) with the traffic-related benefits of car sharing – all of this in a convenient (barrier-free), sustainable (parking spaces become green spaces!) and cost-effective (no underground car parks required) way.
