A new brand of fully-electric car is set to revolutionise the global automarket following the pandemic. The vehicle – codenamed Triggo, after the company that designed it – has a fully variable chassis and was designed with traffic jams and finite parking spaces in mind.

This flexible chassis means the car can retract itself to allow the driver to weave through traffic, or to slot itself into tiny parking spaces with relative ease. The company boasts that it can allow parking when only 1/5 of the space is free.
The car has two modes available for the driver: road mode for high speeds, and manoeuvring, which enables the aforementioned features.
The Polish automaker has announced that a fully-functional, pre-release model of that car is available, ready for commercialisation in the most absorbent car markets.
The developers hope to have industrial-scale serial production of the car beginning next year and they hope the current global situation will increase demand for vehicles of this calibre.
Rafael Budweil, the president of Triggo, said: “We want to commercialise our project on the rapidly growing market of car-sharing services. We are observing demand for further solutions of this type, especially those based on the idea of environmentally-friendly electric cars.
“Both in Europe and across the world we are witnessing an increase in electric cars, which aim to be as green as possible. This, combined with our competitive edge gives us great hope for the success of the project.
“Our vehicles have a huge list of innovative and helpful features intrinsic to our design: digital drive-by-wire control, low weight, a unified system of replaceable batteries and compact dimensions are just some of the factors that allow drivers to enjoy using Triggo.”
Aside from releasing the product to consumers to increase their quality of life, the company hopes to tap into the Robo-taxi service in the near future.
Their key development is the autonomous redeployment of vehicles, leading to an overall increase in the number of journeys that individual units can achieve with a reduction in human labour.
Mr Budweil added: “The next stage will be the expected legalisation of the automatic rebuilding function of our vehicles and the launch of Robo-taxi services, which will lead to a real revolution in the market.
“Of course, we don’t know how the world economy will proceed, but after a pandemic, a lot can change in our daily lives. Among other things, aversion of users to public transport as a place with a high risk of infection may increase.
“In turn, cities will promote smaller and greener means of transport to avoid travel paralysis. Triggo may be one such solution to a problem of this magnitude.”
