TH!NK
city demands very little of you. In fact, not much more than
a mobile phone. Just a little overnight power top-up, and it's
ready to go in the morning. It can travel up to 170 kilometer
(106 miles) on a fully charged battery and all for a fraction
of the cost of petrol or diesel. All in all, TH!NK city is a
lot less hassle than other cars. You just get in and drive.
Making
everyday life simpler
National
and local authorities are increasingly making it cheaper and
more convenient to drive electric cars. In London the TH!NK
city is exempt from the congestion charge. In Italy access to
certain city centers is restricted for internal combustion engines
but open to electric vehicles. In Norway you can drive TH!NK
city through toll booths free of charge and in the special public
transport lanes the entire way to work. You don't have to pay
car tax every year, either. The authorities will just love you
after all, politicians want the same thing as you: to protect
the environment. They make it easy for you to drive TH!NK city,
because it has no emissions. Did we mention that in many places
you don't have to pay for public parking? It's a whole new world.
And much simpler. The road is a much friendlier place when you
drive TH!NK city. Contact your local authorities and see what
incentives they have to make your city cleaner.
Making
running a car simpler
TH!NK
city is a safe small car, offering driving features that are
just perfect for you. Driving a silent car will give you a totally
new everyday experience. And because electric motors don't have
many moving parts that require servicing, you'll also enjoy
the benefit of low operating and maintenance costs. Thanks to
the car's unpainted plastic bodywork, the Think City can take
the rough and tumble of city life without the usual visible
dents and scratches.
Safety
A
comprehensive, well-established safety concept makes TH!NK city
a very safe car. Behind the wheel, you are protected and secure
even if you are involved in a collision. The car is equipped
with ABS brakes, airbags and three-point safety belts with pretensioners.
The frame is designed to absorb energy and distribute it away
from the passenger cell. Even the dashboard and knee padding
have been developed to absorb impact. To further protect the
driver and passengers, both doors have side impact bars and
pusher blocks made of shockabsorbent materials. The ceiling,
the front beam above the windscreen, and much of the interior
are upholstered with shock absorbent foam.
Design
The
combination of a smart choice of materials, clever details and
a focus on clean lines and surfaces have made the TH!NK city
a prize-winning Norwegian design. The powerful shoulder line
and well-defined wheel arches give the car a stance that clearly
highlights its superior road handling and excellent driving
features. The side indicator lights prominently placed on the
wheel arches add innovative looks to exemplary functionality.
TH!NK city's body is made of recyclable ABS plastic, designed
for city driving, ideal for anyone wanting to avoid visible
scratches and irritating little dents.
The
car's interior is designed to offer the driver a pleasant environment,
where the emphasis is on providing a clear view of the traffic.
The interior has a feeling of space, with instruments that are
easy to read. Form, quite simply, follows function. For instance,
you can sit in complete comfort with your seat in the perfect
position to allow you to quickly get in and out of the car during
your busy daily schedule. The glass rear hatch allows you to
see right down to the bumper of the car behind you when reversing.
This means you can now parallel park with accuracy and control.
Designed
with the environment in mind
Engineers,
developers, buyers and designers have focused on the same thing:
clean recyclable materials, non-polluting production processes,
and the best possible use of materials. All this gives you a
clean car. For example, the dashboard can be completely recycled.
The fabric, body, supports, air ducts, adhesives and fixings
are designed using the same recyclable materials. We have also
used materials that have already been recycled wherever we could.
16% of TH!NK city is actually made from recycled materials.The
plastic bodywork and other plastic panels have not been painted.
This has enabled us to protect the environment from pollutants
and use less energy, while also making the panels easier to
recycle. Even the batteries are returned to the supplier at
the end of their useful life.
Drive
three times as far on the same amount of energy
A
conventional car with an internal combustion engine - either
petrol or diesel - uses less than 30% of its energy in getting
to its destination. The remainder is lost to friction and heat.
In a TH!NK city, 90% of the energy is channeled directly into
getting you to your destination. In other words, its energy
efficiency is three times higher than that of a car with an
internal combustion engine. So, you can drive three times further
for the same amount of energy. That's an energy saving proposition
worth thinking about.
Thinking
globally
The
most environmentally friendly electricity comes from renewable
energy sources, such as hydro-electric power. If you don't have
an agreement with a power supplier who can guarantee you clean
power, you risk using energy from non-renewable sources. To
compensate for this, Think will pay for carbon offset certificates
for the portion of your electricity that generates CO2 emissions.
Acting
locally
TH!NK
city has zero tailpipe emissions. In fact, it doesn't have a
tailpipe. No CO2 emissions. No NOx (nitrogen oxide) emissions.
No particle emissions. This makes your local environment a cleaner
place to live.
