The mobility paradigm has evolved over the years, this evolution is due to its importance in society. There are different mobility concepts that adapt to different situations, all of which have advantages and limitations. The necessity of the displacement is intrinsic to the human being, therefore it becomes an area that is constantly evolving in order to facilitate the day to day of the people. In the history of mobility, we can see that from the buggy to the car, several types of transport solutions have emerged that have transformed the paradigm of mobility. This evolution in the means of transport directly linked to the technological development that has been improving and facilitating the use of these means, improving the user experience. This document reports the creation and development of a concept of a stand-alone electric vehicle intended for a sharing service. This was developed as part of a curricular internship, where it was possible to explore an advanced concept with a design language that defined the CEiiA team and values. The project was creatively oriented by Jeremy Aston and Boris Fabris, who are ESAD teachers and have professional experience in the field of product and automotive design respectively. These allowed this project to be developed in the best way and the most relevant decisions related to the project were taken with due consultation. The design process took place in CEiiA's Department of Mobility (Devices), where the project was accompanied by several professionals, especially José Silva and Luís Leitão, who officially guided the process from the beginning. The project was completed with one report and two final presentations. A presentation of the final in an event of CEiiA and later in ESAD Matosinhos, in order to expose the process developed during the stage, explaining the concept and the various phases of the project.
