Gal Dror’s HI-BREED was born from the observation that much of traffic is unused space. The car is a two-seat car equipped with an additional three-seat attachment allowing the driver to only use what is necessary. The car also comes with a supplemental benzene engine to allow for greater travel range, making it more fuel efficient than the average hybrid vehicle.

A similar concept is Itzik Me-ir’s ‘City Runner’, a single passenger taxi allowing more mobility for the urban-dweller on the move. It's compact size allows the vehicle to manouver through crowded city streets, reaching it's destination in less time than the average taxi.
