Hiriko is introducing an innovative urban mobility concept through compact electric cars designed for convenience and sustainability, addressing key challenges in urban transportation. These vehicles have a maximum speed of 60 km/h, a range of 120 km, and can be charged in just 15 minutes, promoting a new model of transportation that integrates seamlessly with city environments. The initiative also offers economic opportunities by creating local jobs and transforming the relationship between urban residents and mobility systems in major cities.

2. for intelligent cities

3. rethinking the concept of urban mobility in
the new sustainibility context

5. 80% urban trips are made by one person
50% world population will be in large urban areas
40% use of gasoline in town is to find parking
36% of oil consumption in Spain is the transport

6. promote partners

28. developing the future

29. 1 HIRIKO reinvents the concept of
mobility in the urban context
HIRIKO upgrades the bike sharing systems with the possibility of
fact using trendy, faster, safer, covered, foldable… electric automobiles
HIRIKO has an autonmy of 120 km with a limited speed of 50 km/
example hour. Batteries are recharged in 12 minutes

30. 2 HIRIKO redefines the relationship
between user and cars
HIRIKO is not just a beautiful car, it is a new mobility system.
fact HIRIKO redefines the user’s relationship to metropolitan patterns
Prices will change according to the demand. Driving a car could
example even put money in your pocket

31. 3 HIRIKO generates a new source of
incomes for the cities
HIRIKO cars are an unique opportunity for quality advertising in
fact the city centres, complementing existing public transportation
system
Berlin could limit the use of private cars in the city centre, allowing
example HIRIKO cars to be theonly ones to circulate in that area.Paris has
already established the legal framework for these operations

32. 4 radical architecture
HIRIKO does not have a central engine and traditional power
fact train, but is powered by four in-wheel electric motors.
This enables maneuvers like spinning on its own axis (an O-turn
example instead of a U-turn), moving sideways into parallel parking
spaces, and lane changes while facing straight ahead.

33. 5 HIRIKO offers a new business opportunity
for automotive manufacturers
HIRIKO facilitates automotive sector to be prepared for the
fact electric revolution. Basque manufacturers will participate in this
project to gain new skills
Local companies invovled in this project will be better prepared
example than international competitors for manufacturing new electric car
components

34. 6 HIRIKO is based in a powerful
environment
Basque automotive industry produces all components of the
fact leading European brands (Mercedes, Volkswagen, Peugeot,
Guardian, Michelin, etc)
Mercedes Vito takes the name from Vitoria, the capital of the
example Basque region

35. 7 HIRIKO has built a solid structure
HIRIKO consortium will alunch three companies: “HIRIKO CARS”,
fact “HIRIKO SERVICES” and “HIRIKO INFRAESTRUCTURES”
HIRIKO CARS will produce the automobile, HIRIKO SERVICES
will franchise the assembilng plants and HIRIKO
example INFRAESTRUCTURES will offer engineering services to the cities
integrating this mobility concept into their transportation system

36. 8 HIRIKO creates employment in
recession times
fact HIRIKO creates employment locally, innovates disruptively the
traditional process of car manufacturing
Small assembiling plants will be located in the cities implementing
example this mobility system

37. 9 HIRIKO is an emerging reality

38. conclusion:
Why this concept will work?

39. this concept has best chances to succeed as it’s a win-win for everyone,
furthermore there are already discussions that city centers shall be closed
municipalities individuals
✓ Will gain in new revenues as MOD ✓ Will decrease their expenses, when
concept designed for profit, with associated • renting a HIRIKO for less than used to
advertising campaigns, whilst the original pay for regular renting car
investment is marginal • traveling in HIRIKO cheaper than taxi
• spending less on using HIRIKO than
✓ Wll increase image and reputtion possesing own car & renting garage etc
attracting more inhabitants and tourism.
Used to spend lots ofmoney on marketing ✓ Increase their quality of life
campaigns polishing city’s image to • Less cars in the street, less traffic, more
encourage tourism parking spaces available, etc
• no damaging exhaust fumes & noises
✓ Will increase employment with new local • less trouble than maintaining own car
assembling plants and local fleet operting • more flexibility where and when to use a
companies car, combine with train, etc
Both can associate image and personality with new environmental friendly technology.
