THINK O Concept
The THINK O concept was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2008. The vehicle is not available for commercial sale in the market, and is one of several directions explored for the next generation THINK electric cars.
A platform vehicle
THINK O is a platform concept, designed for electric vehicles. It is the basis for a variety of vehicle styles, starting with the THINK O Crossover 5-seater. This is possible due to a space frame concept featuring the main crash structure and the batteries centrally placed in two compartments in the lower frame.
THINK’s sustainable Scandinavian design has formed the basis for this truly innovative clean car.
THINK O is distinguished by the Think product family design characteristics. With five seats and an emphasis on interior space and comfort, this vehicle is setting the standard for future EVs. THINK O combines Scandinavian design and functionality with THINK’s unique lines. It is both spacious and sophisticated. The space frame cant rail is a visible styling part, running from the front to the rear wheel arch. An upright tailgate emphasizes the distinct THINK outline and creates valuable luggage space.
The side indicator lights, prominently placed on the wheel arches, add an innovative look to exemplary functionality. The contrast between the plastic body and the aluminium exterior details such as mirrors, grille and handles, creates a truly different and innovative feel.
The THINK O interior is designed to give the driver a feeling of openness and comfort. With its large glass surfaces, THINK O provides a clear view of the traffic. The transparent tailgates allow high visibility for easy city parking. Inbuilt computer screens display all mandatory information as in a standard instrument cluster, plus a variety of interesting and useful functions related to driving, leisure and working.
The connected car
THINK O will be highly connected, featuring real time navigation, web, e-mail and open source interfaces, intelligent and sustainable driving and route calculations. THINK O will feature the THINK connectivity platform to enable drivers and passengers to stay tuned at all times. The system also keeps track of the battery performance and allows remote diagnostics at all times.
