Carry the day.
Tools, supplies and a second person. Useful space takes priority over bodywork.
LAND × CAR DESIGN ACADEMY 01 / 2035
Less car.
More life.
A quiet electric platform.
For everything between
home and the horizon.
THE UN–CAROPEN BY DESIGN.
4 WHEELS1–2 PEOPLE2 COREONE OPEN PLATFORM
01 / A WAY OF LIVINGPROPERTY → TRAIL → TOWN
A life between places.
A machine that belongs.
Home, workshop, pasture, woods. A trip into town. Life on a little more land rarely follows a straight line. The UN–CAR is designed around that day.
＋More time outside.
More time outside.
Less in the way.
For the rural resident who values useful space, quiet movement and the freedom to do things their own way.
07:00
Check the property.
12:00
Carry what’s needed.
18:00
Stay a little longer.
SMALL JOURNEYS. A BIGGER WORLD.
Take the
long way home.
Enough machine for the task.
Enough freedom for the rest.
02 / START WITH THE NEEDLIGHTER BY INTENT
The task is small.
The usual machine
isn’t.
Move with less disruption.
Electric propulsion and quiet operation as a design objective. No tailpipe exhaust at the point of use.
Change with the terrain.
A low stance for local-road intent, raised clearance for rough access and a parked basecamp setup.
03 / THE PLATFORMEVERY PART EARNS ITS PLACE
Nothing to hide.
Everything to use.
A visible aluminum-frame direction. Simple drained seat shells. One targa-style bar. Only the surfaces that serve the person, the load or the machine.
←
2,650 mm WHEELBASE / BOARD ANNOTATION
→Useful from the start.
A forward tray keeps daily essentials in view and easy to reach.
Just what you need.
A simple shell, drainage and a separate head-restraint pad.
One clear gesture.
A single structural idea frames the occupants and the vehicle’s identity.
04 / YOUR EVERYDAY, RECONFIGUREDPEOPLE + PAYLOAD
Make room
for your day.
01 / TOGETHERBring someone.
Bring someone.
Bring the essentials.
Two seats with useful cargo space at both ends. Share the trip without giving up the tools, groceries or equipment that make it worthwhile.
Front tray + two seats + rear deck.
05 / PACKAGE + ARCHITECTUREVISIBLE FUNCTION
Open space.
Clear thinking.
Two inboard motors keep propulsion hardware within the platform. Protected belt reductions feed front and rear differentials, with half-shafts out to the wheels.
- Access
- Open sides. Direct entry.
- Protection
- Clear service shields over moving hardware.
- Utility
- Structural hardpoints and load tie-downs.
- Terrain
- Adjustable ride-height concept and AWD.
06 / LAND COREENERGY BEYOND THE JOURNEY
Two CORE.
A wider world.
Removable energy is integral to the platform. Two protected modules sit low in the frame, close to where their power is needed.
Part of the structure’s logic.
Protected bays, accessible retention and short power paths. Final packaging and thermal clearances require development.
Keep the energy useful.
A proposed side-access exchange with interlocked connectors. Lifting method depends on the selected CORE variant.
A longer pause.
Onboard charging and a proposed deployable solar canopy. Solar contribution depends on conditions and camp demand.
07 / A DAY IN USEWORK. CARRY. EXPLORE. REPEAT.
The vehicle is the beginning.
The day is the story.
01 / IN USE
A good day starts here.
Apples, honey and a morning at the market. Open cargo decks make room for the work and the people behind it.
02 / IN USE
Take someone along.
Two seats, a clear windscreen and the quiet road between home and the next stop.
03 / IN USE
A little shelter. More possibility.
A removable canopy and clear windscreen add comfort while keeping the platform open and adaptable.
04 / IN USE
Pack for the whole day.
Camping gear, a cooler and the essentials, tied down on the rear deck. Park, unpack and explore together.
05 / IN USE
Turn a stop into a stay.
A proposed solar-array rainfly shelters the front cargo, both seats and rear deck, then extends outward over camp. A place to rest, recharge and stay a little longer.
06 / IN USE
Room to roam.
An open-air run across rolling countryside. A playful side to the useful platform.
08 / IN USE
A quieter destination.
Fishing gear on the deck. A shaded stop on the pebble shore. The rest of the day belongs to the water.
09 / IN USE
Good company. Useful cargo.
Boards and plywood secured on the rear deck, with a four-legged companion beside the driver.
＋FUTURE UTILITY MODE
Walk with the work.
A proposed supervised walk-along mode carries tools beside the owner. Hold-to-run control, stop-on-release, obstacle stop and a physical emergency stop are part of the design intent.
08 / DESIGN DEVELOPMENTFROM NEED TO FORM
Subtract.
Organize.
Refine.
- Start with the useful space. Reduce the enclosed body and heavy off-road silhouette.
- Let the frame do the work. Organize people, cargo and energy on a ladder-like platform.
- Make the function legible. Aluminum structure, aero wheels, clear panels and restrained seafoam details.

Deliberately compact.
Concept targets, not validated production specifications.
- Wheelbase / width
- 2,650 / 1,650 mm Annotations on the supplied prototype board
- Road-mode speed target
- 65 km/h Approximately 40 mph; no approval claim

- Ground clearance targets
- 150 / 240 mm Proposed road / trail positions
Overall length and height, mass, power, range, payload, towing, sealing and occupant protection remain to be resolved. Board dimensions supersede the earlier presentation’s provisional width. Primary environment: private property, gravel and trails; local-road use requires a suitable regulatory pathway.

A smaller machine.
A bigger part of
everyday.
Quiet movement. Useful space.
Energy that stays with you.
