8. PODCAR TRANSPORT SYSTEM
2010 Zagato 2getthere Podcar (from Zagato Press Release) People Move
At the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi, Zagato, the Italian Total
Design Center, responsible for aerodynamic collectibles cars like Aston Martin,
Bentley, Ferrari, Maserati and Spyker, unveiled a futuristic model of an
automated people mover vehicle, for Masdar City.
Developed by 2getthere, a Dutch firm specialising in “systems”, the podcar is
an electric vehicle that will act as an automated taxi to serve pre-coordinated
stops and will be used to transport students at the campus of the Masdar
Institute of Science and Technology, the first phase in development of Masdar
City.
9. The collaboration of Zagato with eco-efficient transport firms started
almost 40 years ago as a response to the oil crisis.
10.
11. • The driverless Zagato-designed podcar operates on lithium-ion batteries,
expected to power more than three hours of drive time before needing to be
recharged for an hour. The vehicle seats four or six passengers who need only
to punch in the destination desired on a console inside the cabin, the car
will do the rest.
To avoid collisions – the car will travel at 40kph along straight paths, and 25kph
when turning – sensors in the front of the cars will help it slow down or stop if it
detects anything as far as 10 meters ahead.
12. WHAT MAKES MASDAR SUSTAINABLE?
• Providing a unique test-bed platform
• Large reduction targets for energy demand.
• The city will have some of the world’s most sustainable mixed-use buildings in
the world
• The city is piloting several advanced clean-transportation systems and
strategies
• Operating at the cutting edge of utility management integration
13. • The building’s rooftop PV array is expected to generate 5.5 GWh of renewable energy annually.
• The PV panels also serve as shading for the roof, while various build ingintegrated PV panels
further contribute to the renewable energy supply of the building.
• When installed the 15,590 photovoltaic panels on the roof of the Masdar headquarters will form one
of the largest roof-mounted integrated PV panel arrays in the world and displace approximately
4,400 metric tones of CO2 equivalent a year.
16. TEST SITE
• Test Site: The drilling rig is
approximately 58m high – as tall as
a 20-storey building –
• and weighs 500 tons. There is more
than 18 kilometres of piping on site
for
• use in the drilling.
17. • Power Plant:No unsustainable
materials such as bitumen or
polystyrene were used for the
concrete foundation.
• The array uses recycled
materials and a form of low
carbon concrete that uses a
large amount of ground
granulated blastfurnace slag
(GGBS), a waste product of
iron making.
