Cork in an electric car















In cooperation with Korek Jelinek CZ a new prototype of an electric car was created - with the use of cork.

A team of three czech engineers created a new electric car - using cork material for the interior. The design team chose to use recycled and ecological materials so, in cooperation with Korek Jelinek CZ, they used cork for the seat pads, dashboard and the insides of the doors.

The team participated in a competition „ElectricMotion.cz“ and was tasked with creating a small, simple, attractive and ecological electric car for use in the cities. The newly designed electric car has
received a very positive response.
