The Daihatsu FC ShoCase is a proposal for a zero-emission next-generation mobility solution, with an advanced fuel cell powertrain and a boxy, high-tech design.
Making its debut at the upcoming 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, the Daihatsu FC Sho Case is the most futuristic and original among the concept cars presented by the Japanese carmaker.
The main technical feature is the rare metal-free liquid fuel cell technology suggesting new possibilities for compact, zero-emission vehicles of the future.
The vehicle is based on a new platform which incorporates the cell system in the underfloor space, leaving a high degree of freedom to designers.
The FC Sho Case is 3,395mm long, 1,475mm wide and 1,900mm high, with a 2,450mm wheelbase.
The minibus-like design is characterized by the boxy volume, with strong, rectangular-shaped window graphics and a horizontal stripe that surrounds the vehicles visually splitting the exterior in two parts.
The cabin is very concept-ish, with essential, foldable seats. The transparent floor lets the underneath fuel cell system visible.
Overall, the FC Sho Case – as its name seems to suggest, can be considered as a technological “showcase” rather than a study for a specific vehicle.
The boxy shape, and bare-bones interior make it appear suitable for low-speed transport services.
