Its exterior and interior can be tailored to suit various roles, and support a range of applications. This allows it to integrate with smart grids and other social systems.
For commercial use, it can address issues such as last-mile logistics, or be made into mobile shops, public transports and first-aid vehicles.
As for personal use, it caters to both urban and nature lifestyles, offers custom individual modifications, and comes with disabled-friendly fitments.
