About MG Assos Kazi Kuu: Gari la Umeme
Maandishi ya Kitabu: MG Assos ni gari la umeme lililobuniwa kwa ajili ya watu wanne. Gari hili hubeba betri za akiba za lithium ion ambazo huwashwa wakati betri kuu inapoisha, zikitoa nishati kwa muda wa ziada na kusaidia kuepuka gari kusimama njiani. Betri za akiba zinaweza kubebeka na kuchajiwa kwa kutumia soketi za kawaida, na soketi tatu zimewekwa ndani ya gari. Mfumo wa mlango unaoteleza huruhusu abiria wote kutoka gari kwa wakati mmoja. Umbo la rimu ya gurudumu linarejelea kundekari, muundo wa kimila ambao jina lake linamaanisha kushikilia au kukamata. Taa za kusimamisha zinachukua umbo lake kutoka kwa mawimbi ya bahari.

- Dimensions & Packaging
- The traditional kundekari design belonged to Seljuk period was used in the wheel rim concept.In the Ottoman Dictionary, kundekari means hold, grasp or catch.This rim design has been associated with the road grasp and catch of the wheel.
Around quarter of the energy normally supplied by the main battery could be provided extra by the spare batteries.The form of stop lamps is inspired from sea waves due to town’s location. - Tags

- Production Technology
- Lithium ion batteries have a key role in our life. There are researches about making them more compact with huge capacities. In the following years, the technology will be much more developed and as a result, they will be utilized in many different areas like in electric cars. The idea of spare lithium ion batteries was born so.
- Design Challenge
- Kundekari is a well known, traditional motive in our culture. I want to utilize it in my design but the most challenging part is to locate this precious motive of the culture in the design. So I thought that the most convenient way to utilize it in my design is to integrate it with wheel rim design. It was the best way both for design and motive.
- Research
- The wheel rim references its shape to a traditional well known motive of Seljuk linking modern times to historical culture. It has been combining all cultures from Seljuk to Ottoman from Ottoman to present. The motive has an endless ride between generations.
- Inspiration
- Assos is an inspiring, virgin, small historical town located in Aegean coast of Turkey away from city center. During my holiday in Assos, the idea of environment friendly Assos electric car with spare batteries was born. The idea of external spare batteries comes from external hard disk which enables data transport whereever we go. Like external hard disk, these batteries are portable. The energy to move your car is everytime within when it is urgent.
- Project Duration
- Assos is an inspiring, virgin town. During my holiday in Assos, the idea of environment friendly Assos electric car was born and I started sketching. It took 2 months for realizing it. I dedicate it to lovely town Assos.
- Operation Flow
- The batteries will provide additional energy with its 3 spare battery sockets in the vehicle. In this way, the vehicle may enjoy extra movement and maneuver capability by the energy provided for an additional time.
