Besides the innovation of the design of the car with having the tridion steel safety shell showing on the outside of the car, one might wonder where did it get it's name from. This my friends we will have to dive a little deeper into smart car's history.
Before Mercedes-Benz took on this neo-urban revolutionary car the makers of Swatch decided to revolutionize the car industry. They noticed the want drivers have to make their cars one of a kind. They started toying with various ideas until what they came up with to close to what we see the smart car today. The makers of Swatch started to approach various makers with their idea. On sort of a hail Mary type of move they decided to approach Diamler AG (the maker of Mercedes-Benz) who saw it potential and took them on.
The name smart came from the combination of Swatch and Art. The smart car is now available in 96 different colors and you can have full and partials wraps. A car that never ceases to change and be customized at a much more efficient costs. Not to mention all of our panels are made from recyclable plastics that have come from other smart cars or various other plastics.
