  • Abstract
    Volkswagen has come up with three futuristic vehicles which, it suggests, show what can be achieved technologically in just 20 years´ time to meet the needs of consumers and the planet. To this end, it has produced three different types of concept car - one for the single urban-user, a second for the pleasure-driver, and a third for the family. The ´One´ concept car is driven by a single occupant in urban areas, has a fully-electric (zero-emission) motor and can fold up for ease of parking. The suitably named ´Ego´ is a high-performance two-seater coupe, while the ´Room´ family car brings home into the vehicle and will be able to change its interior space at the touch of a button.
