I’ve started to hate SUV, MUV and MPV. I’ve been thinking about how buses may be an ideal transportation, but in reality, it will probably not be feasible to have an entire transport system running on buses, right? Maybe a bit of rickshaws and mini-taxis too? And also compact private vehicles?

Lately, I’ve been interested in minivans, micro-vans and kei cars as the effective mode of transportation, at least for the present scenario. During my window shopping on YouTube, I’ve come across multiple smaller EV, like the ones from Honda or Dacia. I’ve also come across this van called Helixx, which is something that caught my eye.

I can’t think but fancy a vehicle that is modular and easily replaceable. You get to choose what parts to buy. Let’s say, you want a cheap mini-van, but all you can find is a mini pickup-truck. All you have to do is find one of these vehicles, and get their main frame for cheap, trade the un-needed pieces back, and behold, you get to make your van? It is also a really small car, and makes proper utility of space, so, wouldn’t it be cool if modular cars with standardized parts were a thing?

    I think once you get down to the size of vehicles like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2oD1ZHNMFE then they become naturally modular/replaceable. At least in the same way that bikes are. I don’t think people really create “modular” bikes they are just naturally swappable. Of course standards are helpful, and I think there is a total lack of standards for golfcart sized enclosed vehicles.
