TAXI!!!
No more jokes about Mexican Engineering. With no suitable automobile that could be modified to fit their plans, Arturo Millán Martínez, Eduardo González Morón y Juan Antonio Islas spent two weeks (WEEKS!) coming up with the future Mexico City taxicab. Within two years, Chapulines (“grasshoppers”) should be in production and on the streets.
With a tiny diesel engine that powers the battery system (designed to reduce energy consumption and emissions), the sub-compact sized Chapuline will seat four passengers, including those in wheelchairs and have room for luggage. With an on-board GPS system, generating an estimated time and distance readout, it’s going to be a bit harder for drivers to take the long-way ’round.
And, they’re so darn cute!

Oh my god! People are expected to cram into that thing? My guess is ok what ever, as long as its cheap.
That is quite a spiffy looking design. I don’t imagine it would do well on the highway, but for a city car it looks great. So when do we get cabs like that here in Caanda?
Viva La Evolucion 😉
