Fast-paced innovation
The project needed to deliver a pioneering, sustainable EV and digital platform, from concept to production, within an ambitious 18 month timeline. The challenge included balancing cutting-edge design with the technical demands of an M1-class vehicle while aligning with Biomega's vision for future urban mobility.
From digital to physical with rapid prototyping
We embraced a hybrid digital-to-physical approach. Most of the design was made digitally, augmented by physical prototypes. This allowed the team to work very fast, refining vehicle designs through rapid prototyping and real-time feedback. The process blended in-house ideation and external collaboration to ensure regulatory compliance and innovation, resulting in a concept validated by experts and end-users.

Concept to show car to passenger vehicle in 18 months
The Biomega mobility solution reflects our vision of improving urban life through innovative mobility. Presented as a show car at CIIE Shanghai 2018, the vehicle was designed in-house and built with top prototype builders in Munich. In collaboration with German automotive engineers, the concept evolved to meet category M1 (passenger vehicle) regulations. The project not only launched a fully functional vehicle but also earned a Gold Award for Exceptional Product Design at the 2020 German Design Awards, showcasing its impact on the future of city transport.
