The boffins at Volvo’s Monitoring & Concept Center have got together to conceptualize the Tandem Vehicle Concept platform. This vehicle platform is primarily aimed at crowded urban areas where traffic congestion is one big problem. To get around this problem, Volvo’s designers have come up with a design that seats the Tandem Concept vehicle’s occupants one behind the other like in a conventional motorcycle. This will provide the Tandem Concept with motorcycle-like agility with the safety of four wheels.
Taking things further, the Tandem Vehicle platform will also feature very economical and eco-friendly propulsion systems. Volvo is synonymous with safety and hence, this concept platform too will get plenty of safety enhancing equipment. Volvo’s designers envisage automobiles of the future to become a little like clothes and thus they have designed this platform to feature different vehicles to suit different occasions. If everything goes well, Volvo will showcase this concept as early as 2010. Till then, we can only hope that they succeed in giving us some really nice automobiles.

This is really seeing the sights the future and making something truly surprising. The Tandem was firstly visualized as an automobile to help out resolve the particular over-crowding as well as pollution troubles. This is probably the better solution.
