    摘要: Disclosed is a vehicle with a body having a cockpit therein, wherein: the cockpit contains one or more seats disposed in a single file arrangement; the body has first and second doors for accessing the cockpit, the first and second doors being arranged on opposite sides of the cockpit; when the first door is closed, an upper portion of the first door is arranged to form a first part of a roof of the cockpit; and the first part of the roof of the cockpit is larger than any part of the roof of the cockpit formed by the second door when the second door is closed. By providing two doors which are asymmetrical, it is possible to reduce a size of the cockpit without compromising accessibility or safety of the vehicle. Reducing a size of the cockpit may contribute to reducing an overall mass and size of the vehicle.

    摘要: Disclosed is an electric vehicle having four wheels and a body having a cockpit defined therein, the cockpit containing a single seat and being closable to form an enclosure around the seat. The body has a front bumper having a width that is greater than a front track width of the vehicle. A width of the vehicle is between 1200 mm and 1600 mm, and a height of a centre of mass of the vehicle above a ground surface on which the vehicle is disposed is less than a third of the width of the vehicle. The electric vehicle may be suited for use in urban environments, and may provide benefits in terms of improved safety and maneuverability.
