The E.V.C (Expedition Vehicle Concept) is a creation of
Prodan Dragos, the same designer who developed the Fiat
Sentiero concept. Dragos graduated from the George Enescu
University in Iasi, Romania in 2009.
The EVC is designed to be a versatile and adaptable vehicle
which can be configured in a variety of ways to suit the
users needs. It can be changed from an enclosed camping
vehicle to an open top boulevard cruiser in a matter of
minutes. A 250mm (10 inch) ground clearance, durable nano-polymere
body and powerful 4x4 hybrid drivetrain lend the EVC a
degree of off road potential for exploration and utility
uses.
The interior of the EVC features four full-size seats,
with an incredible amount of legroom for the rear seat
passengers. The front seats can be swiveled around to
face backwards and make use of this extra space when parked
up. To increase the interior space when stationary, the
rear of the vehicle can be extended to allow the rear
seats to fold out flat and provide a sleeping area. The
interior is nice and bright thanks to a range of different
sized hexagonal windows set into the roof which also acts
as photovoltaic cells for helping provide additional electrical
charge.
Mounted up front are three workboxes built into the vehicles
bodywork. They can be used to carry anything from power
tools, boots and work clothes, to camping gear and additional
cargo. Waterproof and drainable, they can be easily accessed
from outside the vehicle.
Another multifunction feature of the concept are the headlights.
When parked up they can be removed, and thanks to an internal
battery pack, used as a hand held flashlight. Although
it would be quite annoying if you forgot where you put
it down, it's bad enough losing your keys!
