The research project deals with the mobility needs in rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa in the years 2020 to 2030. The overarching objective is to develop a coherent concept vehicle which addresses the problems of the rural population. The vehicle will enable better access to health care, education and information in the remote areas.
The industrialization of the project was started in 2017 by the start-up company EVUM Motors GmbH.

The aim of the study is to identify needs by means and to translate them into vehicle characteristics. For the design of the interior and exterior factors, cost-efficient robustness and simplicity need to be reconciled with a modern design.
In sight of the industrialization the design not only focused on easily manufacturable mechanical details but also on a robust brand design for the start-up.
