So many three wheel concept cars lately… Must be a new trend, like the touchscreen is for mobile phones. Well, at least this Peugeot concept looks fairly good and it’s been designed by Carlos Arturo Torres Tovar.
Bear in mind that the Peugeot RD 3 can become more compact during crowded traffic and low speeds, making it the ideal ride for a long distance travel.
The RD 3 displays information regarding the road you’re on, plus any other data you might require via vocal command. The RD isn’t the speedster you’re dreaming of, nor is it tomorrow’s supercar, but rather an useful urban vehicle, perfect for suburbs and sneaking in front of other automobiles.

In case the title seemed misleading, this is an automobile we’re talking about, a Peugeot car designed by Abhinav Dapke, bearing the name Loop. The vehicle is environmentally-friendly and it uses a solar panel, which is one of the power sources for the automobile, aside from a Lithium battery.
This battery is placed at the rear of the Peugeot Loop and it’s a rechargeable unit. Those touchscreen windows I mentioned in the title are present too and I’m sorry if you thought that I was talking about the operating system.
Back to the windows, they embed a concept camera that can take photos of the surrounding environment, in case you like what you see and touch them, triggering the snapshot.

We keep checking out cars included in the Peugeot Design Competition and we’ve stumbled upon the Peugeot Stylight concept, designed by Ognyan Bozhilov. This automobile is a compact three-seater, designed to ride in the city, while hiding a 1.6 liter HDI engine under its hood, plus an electric motor, to keep Mother Nature satisfied.
The Peugeot Stylight is a mid-engine vehicle, with the engine placed above the rear wheels, improving the weight distribution. Notice the concept automobile’s rims, made out of two parts, an exterior one that rotates and the inner one that comes with a fixed Peugeot neon logo.

Henosis is a concept design, created by Alexei Mikhailov, who managed to foresee the future of modern automobiles, as they slip into the hands of the Xbox generation. Its aggressive, but still elegant look is coupled with its eco-friendliness, as the vehicle uses hydrogen fuel and a powerful battery.
Today’s kids will be tomorrow’s drivers and buyers of today’s concepts, the future mass production cars. In case this phrase made too little sense, imagine that the Peugeot Henosis uses gaming-style controls for basically any function.
So, if you’re an avid gamer and can’t seem to get that driving license, start improving those gaming skills and coordination, as it’s going to pay off. By the way, I have to mention that the car was designed for the 2008 Peugeot design competition, but sadly didn’t make it to the top 30. Too bad, as it looks great.

The fifth annual Peugeot Design Contest is a time of joy for the folks who dig futuristic designs and hot concepts. This time we’re checking out the Peugeot 888, created by Oskar Johansen, a two seat automobile powered by solar energy and shape-shifting.
This vehicle switches between a suburban and city mode, by using a hydraulic tilting system and lifting the car (city mode) or lowering it in order to increase the speed (suburban mode).
Each wheel of the Peugeot 888 uses an independent electric motor, based on Li-ion batteries, but you shouldn’t forget the solar energy, harnessed with the aid of photovoltaic cells.

Seems that most of the Peugeot concept cars I’ve seen lately are eco-friendly, since they use electricity and are powered by solar panels. The Peugeot Seed is no exception, but its most interesting feature is the fact that it doesn’t incorporate windows, but uses cameras to show the driver what’s going on around the car.
The vehicle was designed by Andrew Kim and the Seed is wrapped with one big LCD display, like some other concept we’ve seen a while back. Must say I’m not a huge fan of the shape of this automobile, but hey, beautiful isn’t always useful, right?

Seen Pixar’s Wall-E? Well, than you must’ve liked the Eve character, but not as much as Woo-Ram Lee did, the designer of the Peugeot MoVille concept. You have to admit that the cartoon character and this vehicle have quite a few things in common, specially the cute rounded shape.
The MoVille was designed as an entry in a Peugeot design competition and we might just see it go full scale some day, specially if it wins. This automobile is also “green”, as it uses electric propulsion and solar energy, plus it features an auto-pilot mode and it can be driven with the aid of a cellphone.
Add a retractable dashboard with drive-by wireless and dual-sliding window doors to the package and we’ve got a teardrop-shaped vehicle of the future on our hands. Now, can it say “Waall-E”?

Everything’s 360 these days, starting from the Xbox, the Colgate toothbrush, to the Yahoo social netwoking and blogging service, so cars couldn’t escape this branding. Enter Peugeot 360… Designed by Andrei França, this concept vehicle uses spheres instead of wheels, making sure you’ll never have a flat tire and giving you a better control of the automobile.
Also, it’s important to mention that the concept car features only three spheres, each powered by an electric motor. They’re all coordinated with the aid of an on-board computer and a system of pulleys. I guess the idea of replacing wheels has got one advantage: better control when parking and backing your car.
Also, talking about 360: what other 360 labelled products do you know?

Peugeot One is a “green” concept car, designed by Omar Ivan Huerta Cardoso and it aims to change the way people see automobiles in relation with the environment. The vehicle accumulates solar energy with the aid of its windshield, imitating the Photosynthesis process and going easy on Mother Nature, by not releasing dangerous substances in the air.
This concept car is a single-seater, an urban vehicle that uses a Gyroscope system to generate stability and a pretty nifty suspension system that handles a sudden stop quite well, by cushioning the body of the car.
I have to say that this is quite a long automobile that will be a real pain to park, unless it comes with a foldable mechanism, like the BRB concept car.

It’s not often that we get to see a hydrogen engine car with an Xbox inside, in fact it’s not often at all. However, the Peugeot Flux, designed by Mihai Panaitescu is one such vehicle, but the positive features don’t end here. This Peugeot is quite compact with a width of 1650 mm and a 3500 mm length, but its look is still appealing as you can see for yourself.
The Flux is a dynamic car, as shown with the aid of the open cockpit and its shape, continuously passing from straight lines to curves while still using the Peugeot style. It might be worth mentioning that this ride features a plastic hood and body panels, aluminium mechanical parts plus metal chassis and head protection.
