ABU DHABI’S 2030 VISION

PODCAR TRANSPORT SYSTEM

2010 Zagato 2getthere Podcar (from Zagato Press Release) People Move

At the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi, Zagato, the Italian Total

Design Center, responsible for aerodynamic collectibles cars like Aston Martin,

Bentley, Ferrari, Maserati and Spyker, unveiled a futuristic model of an

automated people mover vehicle, for Masdar City.

Developed by 2getthere, a Dutch firm specialising in “systems”, the podcar is

an electric vehicle that will act as an automated taxi to serve pre-coordinated

stops and will be used to transport students at the campus of the Masdar

Institute of Science and Technology, the first phase in development of Masdar

City.

The collaboration of Zagato with eco-efficient transport firms started

almost 40 years ago as a response to the oil crisis.

• The driverless Zagato-designed podcar operates on lithium-ion batteries,

expected to power more than three hours of drive time before needing to be

recharged for an hour. The vehicle seats four or six passengers who need only

to punch in the destination desired on a console inside the cabin, the car

will do the rest.

To avoid collisions – the car will travel at 40kph along straight paths, and 25kph

when turning – sensors in the front of the cars will help it slow down or stop if it

detects anything as far as 10 meters ahead.

WHAT MAKES MASDAR SUSTAINABLE?

• Providing a unique test-bed platform

• Large reduction targets for energy demand.

• The city will have some of the world’s most sustainable mixed-use buildings in

the world

• The city is piloting several advanced clean-transportation systems and

strategies

• Operating at the cutting edge of utility management integration

• The building’s rooftop PV array is expected to generate 5.5 GWh of renewable energy annually.

• The PV panels also serve as shading for the roof, while various build ingintegrated PV panels

further contribute to the renewable energy supply of the building.

• When installed the 15,590 photovoltaic panels on the roof of the Masdar headquarters will form one

of the largest roof-mounted integrated PV panel arrays in the world and displace approximately

4,400 metric tones of CO2 equivalent a year.

TEST SITE

• Test Site: The drilling rig is

approximately 58m high – as tall as

a 20-storey building –

• and weighs 500 tons. There is more

than 18 kilometres of piping on site

for

• use in the drilling.

• Power Plant:No unsustainable

materials such as bitumen or

polystyrene were used for the

concrete foundation.

• The array uses recycled

materials and a form of low

carbon concrete that uses a

large amount of ground

granulated blastfurnace slag

(GGBS), a waste product of

iron making.
