Created by Toyota's Calty Design Research for the 2010 LA Design Challenge, the NORI Concept is a futuristic four-seater with a body and chassis integrated into a single lightweight component made of carbon fiber and seaweed.
Toyota NORI Podular StructurePresented at this year's Design Challenge at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show, the Toyota NORI Concept features a structure called Podular form which integrates both the body and the chassis.
The component allows for weight optimization and reduction of number of parts. It is made of a bioplastic material that combines "nori" (the Japanese word for seaweed) combined with a carbon fiber weave.
The concept is powered by four electric wheel motors coupled with a removable battery pack. Woven into the PODULAR form are solar cells that capture and generate supplemental solar energy.
