MICROCAR
The collaboration with Patriarca Automobili Spa continues for the production of some four-wheel vehicle models in the L7 category with the design of the chassis and bodies.
In the case of four-wheel minicars (L7) the aim has always been to provide an urban vehicle of small dimensions but with the technical characteristics of M1 category vehicles, offering comfort and handling performance obtained thanks to the independent McPherson type suspension.
Work done : executive and construction design, production.

Using only your feet and your body's balance, this three-wheeled electric-powered vehicle tilts using a balance system connected to the suspension.
Work done : preliminary design, feasibility study.

Design Experience
SOLIDE Studio's work is the result of experience acquired over time, not least the development of chassis for a certain type of vehicle, including proposals and studies for three-wheeled electric vehicles, including those with tilting system, up to the design of chassis for four-wheeled vehicles with more significant characteristics in terms of performance and use.
WAT
Proposal for an electric-powered tricycle made from materials with a high percentage of recycled content, such as wood and aluminum; the chassis construction system allows for the possibility of varying the vehicle's wheelbase and therefore creating rear space for a cargo compartment suitable for urban transport of light goods.
Work done : preliminary design, feasibility study, executive and construction design, prototype assembly.
3W URBAN VEHICLE
In 1992 and 1993, a collaboration with Patriarca Automobili Spa began on the design and development of the chassis and bodywork for a tricycle with a two-stroke internal combustion engine. This urban vehicle also had very unique characteristics, as the engine with automatic transmission, was mounted at the front on a swingarm to provide both traction and steering.
Before the European directives on quadricycles were implemented in 1995, production focused on tricycles with two-stroke engines and front-mounted propellers. Drive also came from the front thanks to a patented steering system that included a motorcycle-style swingarm on which the engine block and wheel were mounted. At the rear, a rigid axle was provided to accommodate a small rear trunk.
Work done : preliminary design , feasibility study, executive and construction design, production.
GTEV
A study begun in 1999 to evaluate the feasibility and implementation of a gear-driven system for tilting a three-wheeled vehicle. The system does not use kinematics or leverage, but rather a series of gears that, via a balancer, act on the shock absorbers and thus on the lower wishbones of the suspension. A control system is also included, along with the ability to manually and directly override the tilt and steering system in the event of a failure. Work done : preliminary design, feasibility study, tilting system patent drafting.
GTEVo
Derived from the previous study, this is a hypothesis of a three-wheeled vehicle in a different bodyshape configuration.
Work done : preliminary design, feasibility study.
Automoto
Automoto is an evolution of GTEV, especially in terms of the chassis; in this version the chassis is designed to allow for two configurations of the vehicle : car or motorcycle. Furthermore, this type of chassis allows for adjustment of its length and wheelbase.
Work done : preliminary design , feasibility study.
