More on future urban mobility live at Frankfurt comes the Opel RAK Concept, see in these official pics. The vehicle is Opel’s vision of a future electric model which addresses the problems associated with city travel, and with this solution Opel is hitting the European market with an option that will work for young drivers, not fully licensed as the RAK can also be classified as a light vehicle.

The model has either a 45 km/hr limited top speed, or it can be bought as a fully fledged car with 120 km/hr as a top speed, constant output of 10.5 kW with another 36.5 kW coming from the electric motor, and a 5 kW battery with a range of about 100 km. The RAK Concept is three metres long and weighs just 380 kg.

These kinds of urban mobility vehicles love figures and Opel claims only one euro of energy is used every 100 km so that would apparently make running costs extremely low. It is also made from recyclable materials, making it a green car in every sense. The RAK Concept is apparently inspired by a glider design and the front seat and steering wheel automatically move forward to give more room to passengers getting in and out. Check it out in the official pics below.
