With the surge in clean energy initiatives, innovative automotive concepts have emerged to combat the environmental impact of traditional fuels. This evolution marks a significant positive change in the automotive industry.
One of the pioneering companies in this realm is Commuter Cars, founded by Rick Woodbury in Spokane, Washington. Since 2005, the company has been producing small electric vehicles, such as the Tango T600, resembling a compact bug that can easily maneuver in tight parking spaces.
The Tango T600 stands out as one of the smallest two-seater cars, measuring only 101 inches in length, 39 inches in width, and standing at a height of 60 inches.
Inside, the vehicle offers sufficient space for two passengers seated comfortably on Sparco bucket seats placed in a tandem configuration. It is powered by two electric motors that propel the rear wheels.
Beneath the compact structure lies a set of lithium-ion batteries that provide stability and a center of gravity akin to that of a Porsche 911. Despite weighing 3,150 pounds, the carbon fiber body accounts for merely 25 pounds of the total weight.
The Tango T600 boasts exceptional safety features, including a Prodrive-designed roll cage that enhances overall protection levels surpassing those of larger SUVs. This places the Tango T600 as one of the safest vehicles on the road today.
The accomplishments of the Tango T600 mark a significant stride in the history of electric vehicles. With continuous advancements and incorporation of cutting-edge technologies, it is poised to leave a lasting impact on the automotive industry.
