Volvo DC1 Concept - 2000
Conceptcar for a small urban car
Chief designer Peter Horbury was the man behind this internal concept study for an urban car. A small group of interior and exterior designers and packing engineers wanted to design an optimal Volvo product - a small car which is nevertheless comfortable for people who do a lot of urban driving. The car is roomier inside than large Volvos - even though it has space for fuel cells. It is powered by electricity. The DC1 has the same crumple zones as the V70 and other typical Volvo features - the V-shaped bonnet, upright grille and rear lights and the catwalk on the side. The special wheels incorporate composite suspension and have micro-friction.
