The Frankfurt Motor Show has given the creative French automaker Peugeot the platform to unveil the innovative Peugeot BB1 Electric Concept Car - a "full green electric vehicle that reinvents the automobile in every way: architecture, style, interior design, drive, connectivity – while all the time respecting the environment." The Peugeot BB1 Electric Concept Car was originally launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show and is now being promoted as a concept in a number of cities around the World.

In London Peugeot have launched the Peugeot BB1 Electric Concept Car that seats four people in a vehicle just 2.5 meters long. Inspired by Peugeot’s electric VLV from the 1940s, the new all-electric BB1 represents the car firm’s view for the future of electrical-based urban mobility. The Peugeot BB1 Electric Concept Car, a cross between a scooter and a car, is powered by two electric motors which are mounted in the rear wheels.

The Peugeot BB1 Electric Concept Car is a fully electric vehicle with the road footprint of something the size of a Smart car, yet it is a full 4 seater designed to take 4 full sized adults for urban commuting in the worlds larger cities. The electric motors are built into the wheels and designed in conjunction with Michelin, and the chassis itself was designed by Peugeot’s motorcycle department. At just 2.5m long, the bubble-shaped BB1 can amazingly seat four people in saddle-like seats and its packaging miracle is achieved by rethinking the driving task.

Access to the vehicle is gained via the reverse opening doors, while the load area access is through an innovative tailgate design. The body is made up of a very light carbon fibre structure, designed to wrap around the passenger compartment. Inside, the car has an extensive range of interactive technologies, including a colour multi-function display and audio system with telephone, navigation, Internet access, radio, MP3, USB connector and 12V power socket if necessary.
