Mellowcabs are designed for urban commuters needing taxi services in cities. They provide convenient, low-cost and eco-friendly transport, complementing the existing transport network.
The Mellowcab can also be easily converted into a cargo vehicle by replacing the passenger seats with a cargo-specific section.
For advertisers, Mellowcabs represent an exciting and innovative way in which to showcase brands.
The Mellowcab features some unique technologies:
- Regenerative braking: the kinetic energy that is usually lost in the braking process is recovered and converted into electricity, and then stored.
- Mobile phone charging stations: we intent on installing charging facilities for mobile phones in the vehicles as a bonus to passengers.
- Illuminated body panels: Our shells have been designed with a LED light system, making it possible to illuminate the body panels, thereby enhancing the vehicle and the advertising on its visibility and aesthetics
- Hemp plastic: we’re experimenting with hemp plastic composites, to create a light, strong and renewable chassis
