ZEEKR 00M

Degree Project 2022

The project idea comes from the author’s own life experience. Urbanisation in China shows great impact on everyone’s daily life. People seem to have accepted all the uncomfortable aspects of public transportation, but the truth is these can negatively influence a commuter's physical and mental health. Public transport resources are often unevenly distributed during the day. It’s common to find no available shared bikes around a metro station in the morning, or find no metro to go back home from the airport late at night. Public transportation will be strongly encouraged in China in the near future. With social needs in mind, the ZEEKR 00M concept aims at exploring a flexible public transport system which remains both highly efficient and agile, and also provides an experience with personal wellbeing in focus.
