The 'Colibri' is a one-person light electric vehicle developed by Innovative Mobility Automobile in Jena, Germany.〔() Bericht auf Heise.de, accessed May 21st, 3:09 pm〕 == Vehicle concept == The Colibri’s development stems from three general facts of current mobility behavior: the majority of people use individual means of transportation in their everyday lives, namely their own cars;〔() Federal Statistical Office of Germany; accessed on May 22nd, 9:14 am〕 statistically, each vehicle is occupied by less than two persons on average and travels daily distances of less than 55 kilometers / 34 miles.〔() Publication of the German Federal Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety; accessed on May 22nd, 9:17 am〕〔() Value calculated on basis of the statistic on; accessed on May 22nd, 9:22 am〕 In face of this general framework, a cost-efficient one-seated vehicle with a range of well above 100 kilometers / 62 miles makes not only economic sense. Distinct features of the Colibri are the frame made of magnesium which is considerably lighter than comparable construction types and an electrically powered seat which is to increase the driver’s comfort when entering or exiting the vehicle. Five other industrial companies and a university are involved in the development. R & D is subsidized by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. In 2012 the prototype was being built, while serial production is scheduled to start in 2014.〔() report of Super Illu magazine, accessed on May 21st, 3:09 pm〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「IMA Colibri」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
