NARO - The Free Leaning Narrow Car

NARO is a fully enclosed, two-seat four-wheel vehicle with the banking action of a motorbike to prevent it tipping over when cornering. The vehicle has the footprint of a motorcycle yet is taller than most MPV's — this provides the driver with the visibility to see and plan ahead when moving through traffic. This ability to plan, together with a significant road presence, greatly improves the safety of the vehicle.

NARO is one third the weight of a typical European saloon and has half the frontal area. Hence its power demand is a quarter of that required for today's passenger cars resulting in ultra high efficiency.

The fully enclosed cabin provides passenger-car levels of safety protection (e.g. airbags, ABS, etc) and comfort.

A common platform is used for the complete range of NARO: NARO Executive Commuter, NARO Taxi, and NARO Dispatch.
