Prizes awarded: 2005 Good Design Gold Award

Our aim here was to achieve a design that is opening the way to a "new movement style" and "new sense of values", based on the configuration unique to the EV (electric vehicle) with a next-generation power source. The proposals for the concept, functions, body construction and packaging all originated from the design side. In the Pocke & EC-02, the world now has access to a molding that's both creative and functional, as exemplified by the pentagonal shape, and materials that evoke a state-of-the-art look and feel, thus giving rise to a whole new style of mobility evolving from these elements.
