Rohit Gavali

Rohit has been spending a lot of time thinking about cars. The mechanical engineering graduate does not only believe that electric cars are the future; he is developing a model with another unique feature: its size adapts to the number of passengers. You’re out with the entire family? Sure, you may need four or more seats. What, though, if only one person is using the car? In Rohit’s prototype, it can simply be pneumatically retracted. Apart from the immediate result — more space on the road — the concept also aims to lead to fewer emissions, with families needing just one vehicle for multiple purposes and environments. And less energy is needed to move the contracted vehicle, compared with one that stays the same size. But the young visionary is one step ahead already: a future model should be powered by air alone.
