Sorry, I could not find an appropriate thread, so I will start a new thread.

My brother found an interesting video about Narrow Track Vehicles.

This video shows all kinds of Narrow Track Vehicles. It covers the Nissan Landslider, the Piaggio MP3, our beloved Vogue One and some other concepts.
Please note: the voice is quite boring, but the techniques that are shown are very interesting.cool:thu:mb1 Two and three wheeled, and of course tilting.

Narrow Track Vehicles can be fun (Carver), highly practical, for instance for commuting and running errands, and are intrinsically more energy-efficient because of their lightweight construction and sleek profile. I don't consider mopeds like the Piaggio NTV's perse.

A couple of car makers already looked into the possibilities of NTV's: VW (picture 1), BMW (picture 2), Volvo (picture 3) and, recently, Nissan. They are all rather cramped two-seaters. My NTV, called the Space-Efficient Vehicle is a three-seater (picture 4); it is slightly wider for this reason. Obviously, NTV's would be able solve a lot of space shortage-related issues.
