The MOTIV.e project aims at offering a solution for urban traffic and environmental problems by adopting ground breaking manufacturing and materials technology.
The concept car combines Yamaha Motor’s multi-wheel history and expertise and Gordon Murray Design’s revolutionary iStream® manufacturing technology, which incorporates Formula One-derived composite technology and manufacturing flexibility alongside low environmental impact.
The iStream design is centered on a steel frame with bonded composite monocoque panels which give form to a lightweight, rigid safety cell.
Technical highlights include an all-new electric powertrain and a chassis with all independent suspension and low unsprung weight.
The design is dynamic and quite distinctive, and incorporates several styling cues inspired by the motorcycle world.
