Automotive manufacturer and tuning designer based in Switzerland, Rinspeed Dock + Go introduced a car, a concept fueled electric mobility aimed at extending the limited carrying capacity minicar. Concept cars take the Smart ForTwo platform is quite popular in the world.
Dock + Go is the brainchild of Frank M. Rinderknecht, which it describes as 'backpack on wheels' docking. The idea behind the birth minicar comes from problem loading capacity limitations of small electric vehicles, and this innovation is then offered by Rinspeed.
As the name suggests, the Dock + Go, like a trailer that seemed to have a 'dock' at the back of the car. Docking section where wheels third row (rear) is used to recharge the battery.
"Every urban electric car could serve as a 'Dock + Go' for a particular need. Drives can be used as a pizza delivery fleet complete with an integrated heater and a toolbox package., And suitable for carrying camping gear, golf, skiing and needs a vacation to the beach placed at the back of the car, "said Rinspeed in a press release.
You must have seen a number of concept smartphone casing that adds functionality or battery life, as presented by Photojojo and Leica i9 that turns your iPhone into a digital camera with a lens that can be replaced. A similar concept was brought by Rinspeed, manufacturing companies and the Swiss car modifier, into the automotive industry. By using the Smart Fortwo as the basic concept, Rinspeed presents an additional trailer or caravan can be connected to the back of the Fortwo. Then, what is the function of this trailer?
The concept is named Rinspeed Dock + Go is an additional mileage Smart Fortwo. This can be achieved through the presence of oil-fueled engines are embedded in the trailer. A pair of car tires had been paired to ensure the balance of the car when driving with the extra weight on the rear. Judging from the number of photos circulating in cyberspace, this is just a trailer serves as an addition to the Smart Fortwo and the mileage can not be expected to enhance or strengthen the car look tiny. Rinspeed concept trailer called the "vario-hybrid" will be introduced at the Geneva Auto Show 2012 next March.
Smart, known as compact-sized car line is also publishing a new car concept.

In addition to the luggage space is now more widespread, there are actually innovations inside the Dock + Go. Right on the inside of the concept are energy packets with a combustion engine or range extender. This allows electric vehicles can substantially increase the distance traveled without recharging the battery, extra wheels on the hood of this car has a system that is able to work to recharge the batteries. Frank M. Rinderknecht founder of Rinspeed also refers to the concept of the "Vario-Hybrid" and will be introduced at the Geneva Motor Show 2012.
We like the Smart ForTwo because the car is cute and small but on one side can not carry a lot of stuff.Dock + Go System of Rinspeed is a special extra baggage for Smart ForTwo owners so they can carry more goods and create Smart ForTwo like a pick-up.
