The latest edition of our Dezeen Debate newsletter features an electric pickup truck that is the same length as a Mini. Subscribe to Dezeen Debate now.
Designer Yves Behar has designed an electric vehicle named Telo, which will have the capacity of a pickup truck, but be the length of a small city car.
Yves and his design studio Fuseproject accomplished this by using two small electric motors instead of a large combustion engine which gives the truck a shorter front end.
Readers were fascinated by the vehicle, one praised its “good-looking and versatile” design. Whilst another loved the “cute” concept.
Other stories in this week’s newsletter that fired up the comments section included a round concrete church in Brazil by ARQBR, Bjarke Ingels’ plans for an entirely self-sufficient, island home in Canada and the launch of a new edition of Dezeen Awards, which will celebrate architecture, interiors and design in China.
