Originally conceptualized by the Media Lab at the Massachussets Institute of Technology, Hiriko Driving Mobility is Today a Basque enterprise aiming to reinvent the concept of mobility in urban context. Hiriko has been uniquely designed by Basque and US companies from new perspectives of architecture, energy, ecology, city planning and urban design, enabling a true paradigm shift in the way we address mobility. This new social enterprise reinvents the car as an object, and redefines the user's relationship to metropolitan use patterns. The Hiriko vehicle is designed to be used in shared-use rental vehicle systems, otherwise known as Mobility-on-Demand (MoD) systems.
