BIGA: the Ecological Miniature "City Own Car" to be used with a credit card
Italdesign's milestones in automotive industry >
We hope that this formula for a city car can be implemented in a short period of time.

Biga was on display in the 1992 Turin Exhibition and Giugiaro explained the underlying approach: a miniature car about 2 meters long, one and a half meters tall with access from the rear door and hybrid traction (electric with a small diesel engine); not merely a “city car”, rather a “city own car” which the city administration or other body can make available to the general public; the “city own car” project includes dedicated parking spaces, rentals on a hourly basis and payment by credit card.

The whole system has been worked out in detail. Another challenge ready to come true.
