Unveiled by EDAG at the Geneva Motor Show, it is third member of a range of all-electric Light Cars: the EDAG Light Car, specially aimed at inner-city car hire fleets.
The car according to EDAG is significantly different to other standard hire cars, with a self-explanatory hire system being high among the priorities. Illumination is central to the LC-S idea, but in this case LEDs integrated into gel pads are used to display the vehicle’s availability.A traffic light color system is used to let potential users know at a glance whether a given LC-S is available. Lasers integrated into the mirrors project a safety zone onto the ground, “ensuring that passengers can get in and out in safety”. And, when not being driven, the rear window of the car can be rented out as advertising space
The LC-S’ 1.9-meter (6.2-ft) height means passengers can get in and out comfortably. Its shock absorption is reserved for the Technogel pads strategically located on the car’s bumpers. The inside, are six seats to accommodate large families or groups of friends.
Finding and booking an LC-S will all be done with the use of smartphones – to the point that the vehicle will be unlocked with a Bluetooth key. Inductive charging at designated hire points will look for renewable energy availability when considering the optimal time to recharge.
In terms of what’s under the hood, and the machine’s speed, acceleration and range capabilities, EDAG hopefully will reaveal soon
