Eco-Carriage
Our dynamic boutique
nature coupled with a unique cross section of skills
allows us great flexibility to meet challenging
tasks and client’s needs.
Take the
Eco-Horseless Carriage initiative:
Our turn of the century Eco-Horseless Carriage is
designed to capture the spirit of wonderful, brass
era cars. They are built with craftsman’s details –
this is no “kit car”. Yet, through modern mechanical
design and technology, we are able to build these
cars stronger, more resilient and in a standardized
way to enable easy, cost effective maintenance if
needed. They are built to “look and feel the part” -
yet they are ready for daily abuse.
The “Eco” part comes from cutting edge, fully
electric propulsion. Incredibly powerful, variable
speed, regenerative, 100% torque motors, control
panels that are infinitely adjustable to accommodate
speed, acceleration and charge/decharge parameters,
and resilient battery packs that provide gobs of
energy over remarkably long periods of time. When a
recharge is necessary, turn-around time is a mere
fraction of the de-charge time.
The initial commission behind this idea originated
from the desire to retire the horse-drawn carriages
in Central Park, New York City. The concept,
however, is applicable to nearly any tourist
destination worldwide.
We are able to design (in Virtual space) nearly any
type or style of car, build (a prototype vehicle for
testing) and manufacture (scale-up for economies of
scale and production of multiple units) unique
vehicles to meet specific demands – be it era, size,
style or unique characteristics to meet a particular
business model.
