"Surprising Swedish Company Revolutionizes Car Manufacturing with Flat-Pack Innovation"

Swedish startup Luvly is developing a flat-pack electric car called Luvly O, inspired by IKEA's furniture delivery model. The small and lightweight vehicle aims to reduce carbon emissions associated with shipping and make sustainable transport more affordable. Luvly O has a range of 100 kilometers and a top speed of 90 kilometers per hour, with a frame designed for safety using a sandwich structure inspired by Formula One cars. Luvly plans to license its flat-pack framework to other car manufacturers. Microcars like Luvly O have the potential to reduce transport carbon emissions and improve pedestrian safety, but regulatory and logistical challenges need to be addressed.

"Promoting Safer and Sustainable Transportation: Lessons from Cycling Eden"

Cities worldwide have developed bikeways with new urgency since 2020, as millions of people turned to cycling during the pandemic. Many cities have seized the opportunity to expand safe cycling, with some steps phasing out as the virus has faded, but many have stuck, thanks to an increase in lanes with permanent barriers against traffic, central arteries where cars can’t go, and other concessions to a pent-up demand to get around without gas. Environmental concerns have also been a motivation for many people to ditch cars for bikes, a choice that researchers say has clear benefits in reducing carbon emissions and curbing pollution.
