Stylized as the “oli,” it’s a pickup truck that goes against the trend of big screens and gadgets. Instead, this one proves that you can be more with less. Starting with its construction, the Oli’s hood, roof, and even pickup bed are made from recycled corrugated cardboard framed and formed into a honeycomb sandwich structure between fiberglass reinforcing panels. It’s then coated in a polyurethane resin co-developed with BASF.

The 20-inch wheels and tires too use a hybrid steel and aluminum construction to keep costs and weight down. The specially designed Goodyear Eagle GO concept tire fitted comes with sustainability and longevity in mind . It even comes with technology that monitors its condition and health. Inside, it takes minimalism to a whole new level. The seats themselves use 80 percent fewer parts , while the dashboard, as a whole, uses just 34 parts compared to 75 in a conventional hatchback. Looking for the infotainment? It uses your smartphone which is docked in a central socket. Once plugged in, phone information and apps are merged with essential vehicle data like speed and charge level.
