90 Degree parking - turning eco parking on its head

Here's another great space-saving idea for the future of eco parking.

Quite literally turning the idea of environmentally friendly parking on its head is the innovative parking concept by Brazilian designer, Baita Bueno.

The designer’s “90 Degree” concept copes with the problem of over populated, car ridden cities, lacking in space as the demand for cars increases by making a car park bigger than it really is by parking vehicles on their fronts.

In an area the size of a regular parking space, the 90 Degree car park can accommodate not one, but three vehicles. And as well as saving space, hybrid and electrical cars can be charged at the same time.

This is because the purpose built car parks will house a myriad of solar panels, generating energy from the sun, linked to panels underneath the parked cars.

I can see this happening in the future or something similar. As the population grows there are more and more cars on the road. This would be good use of space in a car park and energy efficient too with the solar panels!
