WHY CHOOSE SPIRA?

Spira was created to reduce the 50 million injured and 1.2 million killed annually by vehicles. It’s innovative light foam and core board technology also reduces the resources to build and the fuel to power vehicles by a factor of 5 to 10.

PASSENGER PROTECTION

Honeycomb and foam protects as they evenly compress. The design pushes the Spira to the side instead of coming to a dead stop.

PREDESTRIAN PROTECTION

No metal in the body and rounded corners help push pedestrians to the side. Spiras are light so it can run over your foot with no injury. Foam bumpers decrease injuries.

GREAT FUEL ECONOMY

Spiras achieve 250 to 600 MPGe. Lithium batteries return 98% charging efficiency and lightweight aerodynamic.

FEWER RESOURCES TO PRODUCE

400 to 1000% weight reduction over metal cars make Spiras truly green. Spiras go over a million miles on the energy to just produce a regular electric car.

SPIRA SPECIAL FEATURES

12 years of designing and manufacturing with two factories for after sales support.

  • Patented honeycomb composite chassis
  • Millions of small air bags in foam offer crash protection for both passengers and pedestrians
  • Solar Panels available for up to 20 miles of range a day
  • Lithium Battery packs give 80 to 150 miles of range
  • disc brakes 72v electrical system will not shock a dry person

TECHNOLOGY

MOTHER EARTH IS LOW ON RESOURCES

In 1920 only 2 billion people roamed Earth. Now 7 billion people want vehicles. The pollution and material production will sicken us. Vehicles are already the #1 killer of 5-40 year olds in the prime of their life. Spira to the rescue and it floats too!

HUGE RESOURCE SAVINGS THOUGH MASS REDUCTION

Spira achieves 5 to 10 times the resource saving over a conventional auto. Less weight means less energy to build and to operate. Spira4u can go 100,000 miles on just the energy to build a regular car.

SAFER BY BEING LIGHTER?

A 2 x 3.5 meter sheet of honeycomb core board is CNC cut and routed in a few minutes before plastic welding produces a strong chassis. Many standard motorcycle parts are used to keep Spira4u light, simple, and reliable. This new honeycomb core board was first mass produced around 2011 in Germany and then in China in 2014. The embedded glass fibers bend in a crash to absorb energy. Carbon fibers would be much more expensive while only a little stronger. Also, carbon fiber’s rigid stiffness makes them brittle.

LARGE EPP FOAM PANELS ADD AREODYNAMIC SHAPE AND SAFETY

Several molds cracked as we learned how to produce the largest EPP panels around. The tough EPP (expanded polypropylene) foam is like Styrofoam on steroids.

We are seeking technology partners, dealers, manufacturers, and cooperative agreements to design, build, and sell honeycomb composite light vehicles.
