Carver - The Car That Tilts

 

A three-wheeled car that steers like a car but leans into corners like a motorbike will be one of the special stars of the Melbourne Motor Show.

 

 

 

Its turbocharged engine and light weight give it a top speed of 185 km/h and economy of 6 l/100 km

Carver One can lean up to 45 degrees in either direction, and can swing between one side and the other at a rate of 85 degrees per second.

The jetfighter-like cockpit seats two, one behind the other.

Dynamic Vehicle Control (DVC™) automatically adjusts the tilt angle of the cockpit to the speed and acceleration of the vehicle and its mechanical-hydraulic systems include a duplicate back-up system for fail-safe operation.

Potters has used the services of David Brown to prepare a media report, and found his presentation to be extremely well researched and the delivery very professional.

 Drivenmedia helped us distil a very large amount of technical information from a huge research project into clear messages for decision makers and the public. It was a great result.
